THE STATE OF TEXAS                                                                 STATE

             FROM
THE 396TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
 
                                                  ------------
 
                                  MEMORANDUM
OPINION[1]
 
                                                  ------------
Appellant Deryl Danielle
Ware  appeals his conviction for failure
to register as a sex offender.[2]  We affirm. 

Appellant=s court-appointed appellate counsel has filed a motion to withdraw as
counsel and a brief in support of that motion. 
In the brief, counsel avers that, in his professional opinion, this
appeal is frivolous.  Counsel=s brief and motion meet the requirements of Anders v. California[3]
by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there
are no arguable grounds for relief.  We
gave appellant the opportunity to file a pro se brief, and he has filed
one.  In addition, the State has filed a
letter brief.
Once an appellant=s court-appointed attorney files a motion to withdraw on the ground
that the appeal is frivolous and fulfills the requirements of Anders,
this court is obligated to undertake an independent examination of the record.[4]  Only then may we grant counsel=s motion to withdraw.[5]

We have carefully reviewed
the record, counsel=s brief,
appellant=s pro se
brief and supplement, and the State=s brief.  We agree with counsel
that this appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit; we find nothing in the
record that might arguably support the appeal.[6]  Accordingly, we grant counsel=s motion to withdraw and affirm the trial court=s judgment.
