MEMORANDUM
OPINION
PER
CURIAM
            Bryan Keith Jackson appeals his convictions for sexual
assault of a child, indecency with a child, escape while arrested/confined for
a felony, and attempting to take a weapon from peace officer.  Appellant’s counsel filed a brief in
compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct.
1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967) and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d
137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969).  We affirm.
 
Background
            Appellant was charged by indictment with sexual assault
of a child,1  indecency with a child,2

 escape while arrested/confined for a felony,3 and
attempting to take a weapon from peace officer.4  At
a hearing on December 8, 2006, Appellant entered pleas of guilty to all four
indictments. Appellant, his counsel, the State, and the trial court signed
written plea admonishments, which included plea agreements, acknowledgment of
the admonishments, sworn waivers, pleas of guilty, statements regarding
representation, and judicial confessions in which Appellant swore that all
allegations pleaded in the indictments were true.  The trial court deferred an adjudication of
guilt on the sexual assault of a child charge, placed Appellant on community
supervision for ten years, and assessed a fine in the amount of $1,500.00,
court costs in the amount of $568.00, and restitution in the amount of $318.92.  On the indecency with a child charge, the
trial court deferred an adjudication of guilt, placed Appellant on community
supervision for ten years and assessed a fine in the amount of $1,500.00 and
court costs in the amount of $563.00. 
However, the trial court adjudged Appellant guilty of escape while
arrested/confined for a felony and assessed Appellant’s punishment at seven
years of imprisonment, a fine in the amount of $2,500.00, and court costs in
the amount of $238.00.  Further, the
trial court adjudged Appellant guilty of attempting to take a weapon from a
peace officer and assessed his punishment at eighteen months in a state jail
facility, a fine in the amount of $1,000.00, and court costs in the amount of
$238.00.  The trial court certified Appellant’s
right to appeal matters raised by written motion filed and ruled on before
trial.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).  This appeal followed.
 
Analysis pursuant to Anders v. California
            Appellant’s counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders
and Gainous, stating that he has diligently reviewed the
appellate records and is of the opinion that the records reflect no reversible
error and that there is no
error upon which appeals can be predicated. 
From our review of counsel’s brief, it is apparent that he is well
acquainted with the facts in these cases. 
In compliance with Anders, Gainous, and High
v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), counsel’s brief
presents a chronological summation of the procedural history of the cases and
further states that counsel is unable to raise any meritorious issues for
appeal.5  We have likewise reviewed the record for
reversible error and have found none.
 
Conclusion
            As required by Stafford v.
State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991), Appellant’s counsel
has moved for leave to withdraw.  We
carried the motion for consideration with the merits of the appeal.  Having done so and finding no reversible
error, Appellant’s counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is hereby granted
and the trial court’s judgments are affirmed.
