CHICO ARHMED CARTER, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 178th District Court

 Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1058437

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a plea of Aguilty@ to the offense of failure to register as a sex offender.  In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court deferred adjudication and placed appellant on community supervision for two years.  Subsequently, the State moved to adjudicate guilt.  The trial court found three of the State=s allegations to be true and proceeded to adjudicate guilt.  The trial court sentenced appellant on January 17, 2008, to confinement for five years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.

Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811-12 (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 is wholly frivolous and without merit.  See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).  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.
