Louis Vages v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 41st District Court of El Paso County

COURT OF APPEALS

EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

EL PASO, TEXAS

LOUIS VAGES,

Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

Appellee.

No. 08-03-00528-CR

Appeal from the

41st District Court

of El Paso County, Texas

(TC#980D08977)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Louis Vages waived trial by jury and entered a plea of guilty before the court to three counts of sexual assault of a child. In accordance with a plea agreement, the trial court deferred adjudicating his guilt and placed him on probation for eight years. The State subsequently filed a motion to adjudicate guilt, alleging that Vages violated several conditions of probation. The trial court granted the motion, adjudicated him guilty, and sentenced him to four years in prison. We affirm.

Vages s court-appointed counsel has filed a brief in which he has concluded that 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, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967), by advancing a contention that counsel says might arguably support the appeal. See 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). Counsel has delivered a copy of the record and the brief to Vages and has informed him of his right to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel s brief and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

The judgment is affirmed.
