TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-04-00303-CR Richard Wayne Carrell, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 277TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 02-981-K277, HONORABLE KEN ANDERSON, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION In May 2003, appellant Richard Wayne Carrell was placed on deferred adjudication supervision after he pleaded guilty to sexual assault. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.011 (West Supp. 2004-05). One year later, after a hearing on the State s motion, the court adjudicated Carrell guilty and sentenced him to twenty years imprisonment. Carrell 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 Carrell, and he 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 Chief Justice Law, Justices B. A.
