MEMORANDUM OPINION


Martin Sanchez waived a jury and pleaded not guilty to indecency with a child. The trial court found appellant guilty as charged in the indictment and assessed punishment at four years' imprisonment. Appellant's attorney 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 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant he has a right to file a pro se response. Appellant filed a pro se response raising four issues related to the indictment, the sufficiency of the evidence to support the conviction, and the effectiveness of trial counsel. We have reviewed the record, counsel's brief, and appellant's pro se response. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. We affirm the trial court's judgment.

Sentence was imposed on May 8, 2003. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted appellant an out-of-time appeal. See Ex parte Sanchez, No. AP-75,067 (Tex.Crim.App. Jan. 12, 2005) (per curiam) (not designated for publication).
