Appeal from the District Court of Travis County, 331st Judicial District, No. 3032306, Honorable Bob Perkins, Judge Presiding. Affirmed.

Before Justices B.A. SMITH, PURYEAR and PEMBERTON.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant Daniel Darrell Ford pleaded guilty to an indictment accusing him of sexual assault of a child. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.011 (West Supp. 2004-05). The court adjudged him guilty and imposed a fifteen-year prison sentence. Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Crim.App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex.Crim.App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex.Crim.App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Crim.App. 1969). Appellant received a copy of counsel's brief and was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. Counsel's motion to withdraw is granted. The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
