No. 14-03-00916-CR.

Memorandum Opinion filed February 12, 2004. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).

On Appeal from the 338th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 852,340. Affirmed.

Panel consists of Chief Justice HEDGES and Justices FROST and GUZMAN.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant entered a plea of guilty to the offense of robbery. In accordance with a plea bargain agreement with the State, on August 30, 2000, the trial court deferred a finding of guilt and placed appellant on community supervision for eight years. On April 5, 2001, the State moved to adjudicate appellant's guilt. The trial court found appellant had violated the terms of his deferred adjudication community supervision and adjudicated his guilt. On August 12, 2003, the court sentenced appellant to confinement for twenty years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a written notice of appeal. The trial court certified that appellant has the right to appeal. Appellant's appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Crim.App. 1978). A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant. Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991). As of this date, no pro se response has been filed. We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the record. A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state. Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
