TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-11-00825-CR Ian Battle, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. D-1-DC-10-302229, HONORABLE KAREN SAGE, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Ian Battle was convicted by a jury of two counts of sexual assault and sentenced by the jury to 15 years imprisonment. Appellant s retained counsel has made a professional, legal evaluation of the possible appellate issues and either considers them meritless or believes that any error that may have occurred was harmless, and is of the opinion that the appeal therefore is frivolous. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 743-744 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811-13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684, 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137, 138 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). We also have analyzed the record and considered the potential grounds for review, and we agree with counsel. In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 407-09 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008). Appellant s attorney sent him a copy of the brief, offered to provide the appellate record to him, and advised him that he had the right to file a pro se brief. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553, 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972). No pro se brief has been filed. We grant counsel s motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment of conviction.1 __________________________________________ David Puryear, Justice Before Justices Puryear, Pemberton and Rose Affirmed Filed: Do Not Publish 1 No substitute counsel will be appointed.
