JOSE ALBERTO MANZANARES, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 338th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 862,352

M E M O R A N D U M  O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a guilty plea to the offense of burglary of a habitation with intent to commit theft.  After a presentence investigation report, the trial court conducted a punishment hearing.  On April 5, 2002, the court sentenced appellant to confinement for twenty-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 that 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 a copy of the record was provided to him.  No pro se response has been filed, however.

We agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  Further, we find no reversible error in the record.

Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
