VICTOR MARTINEZ, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 337th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 1038476 & 1038472

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a plea of guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child.  On March 23, 2006, the trial court sentenced appellant in each cause to confinement -for 45 years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, with sentences to run concurrently.  Appellant filed a notice of appeal in each cause number.

Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in which she concludes the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirement of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), presenting a professional evaluation of the records demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

According to counsel=s certificate in the brief, a copy of counsel=s brief was delivered to appellant.  Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate records 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 records and counsel=s brief and agree the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit.  Further, we find no reversible error in the records.  A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state.

Accordingly, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
