COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI
____________________________________________________________________

WILLIAM DAVID MICK,       Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,       Appellee.
____________________________________________________________________

On appeal from the 36th District Court of San Patricio County, Texas.

O P I N I O N
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Yañez and Castillo
Opinion by Justice Yañez

Appellant pleaded nolo contendere to charges in two separate indictments: 1) aggravated sexual assault and indecency with
a child; and 2) indecency with a child.   In each case, the trial court assessed punishment at twelve years in the Institutional
Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, with the sentences to run concurrently.  Because appellant confessed
to the offenses in both cases (1) with the same confession, we address both cases with this one opinion.  
Appellant's court-appointed attorney has filed a brief in which he has concluded that this appeal is wholly frivolous and
without merit.  See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744-45, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967).  The brief meets the requirements of
Anders as it presents a professional evaluation of why there are no arguable grounds for advancing an appeal.  See Stafford
v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 509-10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); Lindsey v. State, 902 S.W.2d 9, 11 (Tex. App.--Corpus Christi
1995, no pet.).  Counsel states in his brief that he has served a copy of his brief on appellant and he has advised him by
letter of his opinion that the appeal is without merit but that appellant has the right to review the record and file a response. 
To date, no response or pro se brief has been filed. 
When an appellate court receives a "frivolous appeal" brief, it must then "conduct 'a full examination of all the proceedings
to decide whether the case is wholly frivolous.'"  Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S. Ct. 346 (1988) (quoting Anders,
386 U.S. at 744).  This we have done and we conclude that the appeal is wholly frivolous.  We AFFIRM the judgment of
the trial court.

Further, in accordance with Anders, appellant's attorney has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel for appellant. See
Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.  We grant the motion to withdraw.  We order appellant's attorney to notify appellant of the
disposition of this appeal and of the availability of discretionary review.  See Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25, 27 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1997).
