MEMORANDUM OPINION


Eric Donnell Harris appeals his conviction for capital murder. Appellant was convicted by a jury and sentenced by the trial court to imprisonment for life in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. We affirm. Appellant's appointed counsel has filed a brief in which she concludes that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. Appellate counsel states that she has studied the record and has found no error preserved for appeal that could serve as grounds for reversible error. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493, reh. denied, 388 U.S. 924, 87 S.Ct. 2094, 18 L.Ed.2d 1377 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record, and demonstrating why, in effect, 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 has been delivered to Appellant, and Appellant has been advised of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed. We have carefully reviewed the entire record and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). Further, we find nothing in the record that may arguably support the appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's judgment.

A copy of counsel's brief has been delivered to Appellant, informing him of his right to file a brief pro se. Appellant has not done so.
