V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 248th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 990,183
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
Appellant entered a guilty plea to burglary, and the trial court sentenced him to three years= confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a written notice of appeal.
Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in which she 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, which he received on May 4, 2005. No pro se response has been filed.
We 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.
