AL JAMES WILLIAMS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 232nd Judicial District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court No. 852236

Before Morriss, C.J., Grant and Ross, JJ.
Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

O P I N I O N

	Al James Williams appeals from his conviction for the offense of sexual assault on a child. 
This case was consolidated for trial with two other charges which arose out of the same criminal
episode, both of which are also on appeal before this court. (1)  The jury found Williams guilty of all
three offenses, and in this case assessed life imprisonment. 
	Counsel has filed a brief under Anders v. California 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d
493 (1967).  Counsel states he has reviewed the record in detail.  He then sets out both the procedural
history of the case and summarizes the evidence presented at trial and punishment for our review,
and concludes there are no arguable contentions of error that might result in reversal.  He has
accordingly also filed a Motion to Withdraw.  Counsel sent Williams a copy of his brief and advised
him by letter that he believes that there are no arguable contentions of error and informed him of his
right to review the record and file a  brief pro se.  No brief has been filed pro-se .
	Counsel has filed a brief which discusses the record and reviews pretrial, trial, and
punishment proceedings in detail.  Counsel has thus provided a professional evaluation of the record
demonstrating why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to be advanced, as required by  High v.
State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978); see also  Stafford v. State, 813
S.W.2d 503, 510 n.3 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).
 We have reviewed the brief in detail and have also conducted an independent review of the
record.  We agree with counsel that no reversible error is apparent from this record.  
	The judgment is affirmed.

            Eugene
has neither paid a filing fee nor made any claim of indigency.  See
Tex. R. App. P. App. A(B)(1), 20.1.  Further, there is no information to indicate

cure the various defects, and warning him that if we did not receive an
adequate response within ten days, this appeal would be subject to dismissal
for want of prosecution.  See Tex.
R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c).
            We
have received no communication from Eugene. 
Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P.
