ARNOLD RAY PARKER, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 228th District Court

 Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 917480, 927803

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a plea of guilty to the offenses of aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping.  Pursuant to a plea bargain, the trial court deferred adjudication of guilt and place appellant under community supervision for a period of ten years.  Subsequently, the State moved to adjudicate guilt in both cases.  The trial court found appellant violated the terms and conditions of his community supervision.  On October 20, 2006, the trial court proceeded to adjudication and found appellant guilty in both cases.  In both case, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for eighteen years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a notice of appeal in each case.

Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal in each case 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 and file a pro se response.  See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  As of this date, more than sixty days has elapsed and no pro se response has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel=s brief and agree the appeal in each case 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.
