TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-05-00436-CR

                                  Adam McGuire, Appellant

                                                v.

                                  The State of Texas, Appellee

    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 403RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT
     NO. D-1-DC-05-904028, HONORABLE BRENDA KENNEDY, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Adam McGuire pleaded guilty and judicially confessed to murder, a lesser included

offense of the capital murder alleged in the indictment. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 19.02

(West 2003). The court adjudged him guilty and, after hearing evidence, sentenced him to forty-five

years’ imprisonment.

               McGuire’s court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is

frivolous and without merit. The brief, together with the supplemental letter brief submitted

by counsel at the Court’s request, meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no

arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State,

573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974);
Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137

(Tex. Crim. App. 1969). McGuire also filed a pro se brief.

                We have reviewed the record, counsel’s brief and supplemental brief, and the pro se

brief. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. See Bledsoe v. State,

178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

                The judgment of conviction is affirmed.1
