COURTNEY DION JAMES,                                                              Appellant,
 
                                                             v.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                                    Appellee.

                       MEMORANDUM OPINION
 
               Before Justices Hinojosa,
Rodriguez, and Garza
                         Memorandum
Opinion by Justice Hinojosa
 
A jury found appellant, Courtney Dion James, guilty
of the offense of aggravated robbery and assessed his punishment at fifteen
years= imprisonment.
                                                            A.  Anders Brief




Appellant=s court-appointed attorney has filed an Anders
brief, asserting there is no basis for this appeal.  See Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738, 744 (1967).  In the brief, counsel
states that she has reviewed the clerk=s record and reporter=s
record and has concluded that this appeal is frivolous and without merit.  See id.  The brief meets the requirements of Anders
as it presents a professional evaluation showing why there are no arguable
grounds for advancing an appeal.  See
Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 n.3 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  In compliance with High v. State, 573
S.W.2d 807, 813 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978), counsel has carefully
discussed why, under the controlling authorities, there are no errors in the
trial court=s judgment. 
In the brief, appellant=s counsel certifies that she has informed appellant
of his right to review the appellate record and to file a pro se brief.  Appellant filed a pro se brief on January 19,
2006.
                                         B.  Independent
Review of Record
Upon receiving a Afrivolous
appeal@ brief, the appellate court must conduct Aa full examination of all the proceedings to decide
whether the case is wholly frivolous.@  Penson v.
Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988); see Garza v. State, 126 S.W.3d 312,
313 (Tex. App.BCorpus Christi 2004, no pet.).  We have carefully reviewed the appellate
record, counsel=s brief, and appellant=s pro
se brief.  We find nothing in the record
that might arguably support this appeal. 
See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827‑28 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2005).  Accordingly, we affirm the
trial court=s judgment.
                                                        C.  Anders Counsel




In accordance with Anders, counsel has asked
permission to withdraw as counsel for appellant.  See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.  An appellate court may grant a counsel=s motion to withdraw filed in connection with an Anders
brief.  Moore v. State, 466
S.W.2d 289, 291 n.1 (Tex. Crim. App. 1971); see Stafford, 813 S.W.2d at
511 (noting that Anders brief should be filed with request for
withdrawal from case).  We grant counsel=s motion to withdraw.
We order counsel to advise appellant promptly of the
disposition of this case and the availability of discretionary review.  See Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25, 27
(Tex. Crim. App. 1997) (per curiam).
