ROBERT CURTIS HOWARD, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 179th District Court 
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1015159

 
MEMORANDUM  OPINION
               Appellant, Robert Curtis Howard,  pleaded guilty to the felony offense of 
indecency with a child without an agreed recommendation from the state.  The trial
court assessed punishment at confinement for 18 years.  We affirm.
               Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed a brief concluding that the appeal
is wholly frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets the requirements of Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967), by presenting a
professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable
grounds of error to be advanced.  See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim.
App. 1978); Moore v. State, 845 S.W.2d 352, 353 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.]
1992, pet. ref’d).
               The brief states that a copy was delivered to appellant, whom counsel
advised by letter of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. 
See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  More than 30
days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief.  We have carefully
reviewed the record and counsel’s brief.  We find no reversible error in the record,
and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous.
               We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

                                                     PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Nuchia, Keyes, and Hanks.
