Opinion

No. 14-03-00648-CR.

Opinion filed January 29, 2004. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).

On Appeal from the 12th District Court Walker County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 21,053-C. Affirmed and Memorandum.

Panel consists of Justices EDELMAN, FROST, and GUZMAN.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant pleaded guilty to aggravated assault on a correctional officer with a deadly weapon and pleaded true to a single enhancement paragraph. On April 15, 2003, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for fifty years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a written notice of 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 no motion to review the record or pro se response has been filed. We 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.
