ESTEVAN PARADA, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

_________________________________________________________

On Appeal from the 182nd District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 976,343

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

After a jury trial, appellant was convicted of the offense of burglary of a habitation and was sentenced by the trial court on September 21, 2004, to confinement for forty 40 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), 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 sent to appellant on December 20, 2005.  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, 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.  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.
