TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                     NO. 03-08-00724-CR

                               Ernesto Perez Gomez, Appellant

                                                v.

                                 The State of Texas, Appellee

 FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 368TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
        NO. 08-226-K368, HONORABLE BURT CARNES, JUDGE PRESIDING

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant Ernesto Perez Gomez waived his right to trial by jury and pleaded guilty

to leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. See Tex. Transp. Code Ann. § 550.021 (West

Supp. 2008). There was no plea bargain, and the trial court assessed appellant’s punishment at

ten years’ imprisonment.

               Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw supported by 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). Appellant received a copy of counsel’s
brief and 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. Counsel’s

motion to withdraw is granted.

                The judgment of conviction is affirmed.

                                                __________________________________________
