TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                     NO. 03-00-00622-CR

                                William Leo Peevy, Appellant

                                               v.

                                 The State of Texas, Appellee

         FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
             NO. 50,018, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING

               Appellant William Leo Peevy was convicted following his plea of guilty to

aggravated sexual assault. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.021 (West Supp. 2000). As called

for in a plea bargain agreement, the district court assessed punishment at imprisonment for twenty

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.

                                              __________________________________________
