A NALYSIS P URSUANT TO A NDERS V
. C ALIFORNIA Appellant = s counsel has filed a brief in compliance with Anders and Gainous . Counsel states that he has diligently reviewed the appellate record and that he is well acquainted with the facts of this case. In compliance with Anders
, Gainous , and High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), counsel = s brief presents a thorough chronological summary of the procedural history of the case and further states that counsel is unable to present any arguable issues for appeal. See Anders , 386 U.S. at 745, 87 S. Ct. at 1400; see also Penson v. Ohio , 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S. Ct. 346, 350, 102 L. Ed. 2d 300 (1988). Appellant arg ues in his pro se brief that his conviction violates his constitutional protection against double jeopardy, that he received ineffective assistance of counsel
, and that a witness committed perjury. We have found no reversible error. See Bledsoe v. State , 178 S.W.3d 824, 826

- 27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

C ONCLUSION As required, Appellant = s counsel has moved for leave to withdraw. See In re Schulman

dismiss this appeal. See In re Schulman , 252 S.W.3d at 408
