MEMORANDUM OPINION

No. 04-06-00234-CV

In the MATTER OF J.A.H.

From the 289th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2005-JUV-00063

Honorable Carmen Kelsey, Judge Presiding

Opinion by: Steven C. Hilbig, Justice

MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED; AFFIRMED

J.A.H. appeals the trial court's adjudication and disposition orders that found J.A.H. violated the conditions of his probation and committed him to the Texas Youth Commission. J.A.H.'s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a motion to withdraw and a brief in which he asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969); see In re D.A.S., 973 S.W.2d 296, 297 (Tex. 1998) (Andersprocedures apply to appeals from juvenile delinquency adjudications); In re A.L.H., 974 S.W.2d 359, 360 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1998, no pet.) (same). Counsel provided the juvenile and his guardian copies of the brief and motion to withdraw and informed them of the juvenile's right to review the record and file his own brief. See A.L.H., 974 S.W.2d at 360-61; Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1996, no pet.). He has not done so.

After reviewing the record and counsel's brief, we find no reversible error and agree with counsel the appeal is wholly frivolous. We therefore grant the motion to withdraw filed by J.A.H.'s counsel and affirm the trial court's judgment. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d at 86; Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1.
