  •       TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
    NO. 03-01-00218-CR
    Manuel Antonio Rios, Appellant
    v.
    The State of Texas, Appellee
    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
    NO. 49,132, HONORABLE JOE CARROLL, JUDGE PRESIDING
    In July 1999, appellant Manuel Antonio Rios was placed on deferred adjudication
    community supervision after he pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann.
    § 22.021 (West Supp. 2001). In March 2001, the court revoked supervision, adjudicated Rios guilty,
    and sentenced him to imprisonment for thirteen years.
    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 appellant 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.
