JOSE SEVERIANO VASQUEZ-ACOSTA, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 265th Judicial 1)istrict Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F10-33786-R

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Betbue Justices Bridges, O’Neill. and Murphy Opinion by Justice Murphy

Jose Severiano Vasquez—Acosta waived a jury and pleaded guilty to continuous sexual

abuse of a child younger than fourteen years .Sc’e Tux. PENAL CODE ANN. § 21 .02(b) (West

201 1). The trial court assessed punishment at sixty years’ imprisonment. On appeal, appellant’s

attorney flied a brief in which she concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.

The brief meets the requirements of Anclers v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief

presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable

grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crirn. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to

file a pro so response, but he did not file a pm se response.

We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. See BlecLcoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824,

827 (Tcx. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We agree the

appeal is frivolous and without merit We find nothing in the record that might arguably support

the appeal.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
