Appeal from the District Court of Bell County, 264th Judicial District, No. 57834, Honorable Martha J. Trudo, Judge Presiding. Affirmed.

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


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.02 (West Supp. 2005). The court adjudged her guilty and imposed a twelve-year prison sentence. There was no plea bargain, and the court certified appellant's right of appeal. 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 her 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.
