Affirmed and Memorandum Opinion filed July 16, 2019.

                                       In The

                     Fourteenth Court of Appeals

                               NO. 14-18-00632-CR

                   JONATHAN STEVEN JONES, Appellant
                                         V.
                       THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                    On Appeal from the 426th District Court
                              Bell County, Texas
                         Trial Court Cause No. 75641

                 MEMORANDUM                       OPINION
      Jonathan Steven Jones appeals his conviction for sexual assault of a child
under the age of 17. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.011(a)(2)(A). Appellant’s appointed
counsel filed a brief in which he concludes 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 and demonstrating why there are
no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–13
(Tex. Crim. App. 1978).
      A copy of counsel’s brief was delivered to appellant. Appellant was advised
of his right to inspect the appellate record and file a pro se response to the brief. See
Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). As of this date, more
than 60 days have passed and no pro se response has been filed.

      We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree the
appeal is frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the
record. We are not to address the merits of each claim raised in an Anders brief when
we have determined there are no arguable grounds for review. See Bledsoe v. State,
178 S.W.3d 824, 827–28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

      Accordingly, the trial court’s judgment is affirmed.

                                    PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Bourliot, and Zimmerer.
