TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-04-00431-CR

Roy Alton Edmondson, Jr., Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF SAN SABA COUNTY, 33RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 4977, HONORABLE GUILFORD L. JONES, III, JUDGE PRESIDING

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N
 
In March 1997, appellant Roy Alton Edmondson, Jr., pleaded guilty to the aggravated
sexual assault of a child.  See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.021 (West Supp. 2004-05).  The district
court deferred adjudication and placed appellant on community supervision.  In May 2004, after a
hearing on the State’s motion to adjudicate, the court adjudged appellant guilty and sentenced him
to thirty-five years in prison.
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).  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.
