Appeal from the District Court of Lampasas County, 27th Judicial District, No. 7439, Honorable Joe Carroll, Judge Presiding. Affirmed.

Before Chief Justice LAW, Justices PATTERSON and PURYEAR.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


A jury found appellant James Alan Reed guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.021 (West Supp. 2004). The jury assessed punishment at imprisonment for nineteen years and a $10,000 fine. 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). A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant, and he 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. The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
