TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-01-00167-CR Patrick John Richardson, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 44,901, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING Appellant Patrick John Richardson was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision after pleading guilty to sexual assault of a child. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. ยง 22.011 (West Supp. 2001). The State later filed a motion to adjudicate. After a hearing, at which Richardson pleaded true to most of the alleged violations, the court revoked supervision, adjudged Richardson guilty, and sentenced him to eight years imprisonment. Richardson 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 Richardson, who was advised of his 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. __________________________________________ Bea Ann Smith, Justice Before Justices Kidd, B. A.
