BRODRICK WALKER, Appellant

V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 102nd District Court Bowie County, Texas Trial Court No. 14F1032

- 102

Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Burgess2 

### MEMORANDUM OPINION
Broderick Walker was convicted by a jury of two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and was sentenced to imprisonment for life on both counts. Walker appeals.

Walker ’ s appellate counsel filed a brief that outlined the procedural history of t he case, provided a detailed summary of the evidence elicited during the course of the trial court proceedings, and stated that counsel found no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. Meeting the requirements of Anders v. California , counsel has provided a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced on appeal

. Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738, 743

– 44 (1967); In re Schulman , 252 S.W.3d 403, 406 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (orig. proceeding); Stafford v. State , 813 S.W.2d 503, 509

– 10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807, 812

– 13 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel also filed a motion with this Court seeking to withdraw as counsel in this appeal. Counsel provided Walker with cop ies of the brief, the appellate record, and the motion to withdraw. Counsel also informed Walker of his right to review the record and file a pro se response. In response to counsel ’ s Anders brief, Walker has filed a pleading in which he (1) argues
that the complaint against him was defective because it was signed by a peace officer instead of
the victim, (2) asserts an actual innocence claim, and (3) claims that the Bowie County District Attorney’s Office committed fraud and obstruction of justice by colludi ng with the Bowie County

Public Defender ’ s Office to conceal evidence allegedly exonerat ing him. After reviewing the record, we find that these points are without merit.3

We have determined that this appeal is wholly frivolous. We have independently revie wed

the entire appellate record, and we agree with counsel that no arguable issue supports an appeal.

See Bledsoe v. State , 178 S.W.3d 824, 826

– 27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

In the Anders context, once we determine that the appeal is without merit and is fri volous, we must either dismiss the appeal or affirm the trial court ’ s judgment. See Anders , 386 U.S. 738. We affirm the judgment of the trial court. 1
