JOSE SEVERIANO VASQUEZ-ACOSTA, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
AFFIRM: Opinion issued November 28, 2012.
On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F10-33786-R
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, O'Neill, and Murphy
Opinion by Justice Murphy
Jose Severiano Vasquez-Acosta waived a jury and pleaded guilty to continuous sexual abuse of a child younger than fourteen years. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 21.02(b) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at sixty years' imprisonment. On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which she 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 of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response.
We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court's duty in Anders cases). 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.
