MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an appeal from an order of adjudication following a plea of true to the State's petition alleging delinquent conduct in a juvenile case, and an order of disposition committing appellant to the Texas Youth Commission, without a plea bargain.
Defendant's court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. Counsel concludes that the appeal is without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); see In re D. A.S., 973 S.W.2d 296, 297 (Tex. 1998) ( Anders procedures apply to appeals from juvenile delinquency adjudications). Defendant was informed of his right to review the record. Counsel provided defendant with a copy of the brief and advised him of his right to file a pro se brief. Defendant did not file a pro se brief.
After reviewing the record and counsel's brief, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's judgment, and we GRANT appellate counsel's motion to withdraw. Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 86 (Tex.App. 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n. 1 (Tex.App. 1996, no pet.).
