TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                       NO. 03-01-00218-CR

                                Manuel Antonio Rios, Appellant

                                                 v.

                                   The State of Texas, Appellee

      FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
            NO. 49,132, HONORABLE JOE CARROLL, JUDGE PRESIDING

               In July 1999, appellant Manuel Antonio Rios was placed on deferred adjudication

community supervision after he pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann.

§ 22.021 (West Supp. 2001). In March 2001, the court revoked supervision, adjudicated Rios guilty,

and sentenced him to imprisonment for thirteen years.

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

frivolous and without merit. The brief 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). A copy of counsel’s brief was delivered to appellant, and appellant was advised of his right

to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.
              We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous

and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

              The judgment of conviction is affirmed.

                                             Bea Ann Smith, Justice

Before Chief Justice Aboussie, Justices B. A. Smith and Puryear
