  •       TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
    NO. 03-04-00400-CR
    Alberto Tobar Salinas, Appellant
    v.
    The State of Texas, Appellee
    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
    NO. 54758, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    Appellant was placed on deferred adjudication supervision after he pleaded guilty to
    the aggravated sexual assault of a child. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.021 (West Supp. 2004-05).
    He was later adjudged guilty and sentenced to twenty-five years’ imprisonment after he admitted
    violating the conditions of supervision as alleged in the State’s motion to adjudicate.
    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. Counsel’s
    motion to withdraw is granted.
    The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
