STEVEN ADRIAN MENDEZ, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 180th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1016094

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

After a jury trial, appellant was convicted of aggravated robbery.  On December 7, 2005, appellant was sentenced to confinement for ten years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a timely, written notice of appeal and request for appointment of counsel.

Appellant=s appointed counsel 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, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967), presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

A copy of counsel=s brief was delivered to appellant.  Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response.  See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  More than forty-five days have passed, and no pro se response has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel=s brief and agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the record.  A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state. 

Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
