  •       TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
    NO. 03-01-00420-CR
    Lentiona Katrina Taylor, Appellant
    v.
    The State of Texas, Appellee
    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
    NO. 50,816, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING
    Appellant Lentiona Katrina Taylor pleaded guilty to intentionally and knowingly
    causing serious bodily injury to a child. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 29.03 (West Supp. 2001). The
    district court adjudged her guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for twenty 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 her 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.
