ENRIQUE FIGUEROA, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 174th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 960,684

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 offense of aggravated sexual assault of a child on May 18, 2005, without a plea bargain. The trial judge sentenced appellant to twenty five years of confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a timely 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), 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).  Appellant filed a pro se response raising numerous issues.

We have carefully reviewed the record, the pro se response, and counsel=s brief and agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d. 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).  Further, we find no reversible error in the record.

Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
