NO. 01-08-00826-CR




OSCAR PONCE-PEREZ, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 174th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1169184




MEMORANDUM  OPINION
          Appellant, Oscar Ponce-Perez, pleaded guilty to the offense of aggravated
assault against a public servant.  After a pre-sentence investigation hearing, the trial
court assessed punishment at confinement for 60 years.  We affirm.
          Appellant’s counsel on appeal has filed a brief stating that the record  presents 
no reversible error, that the appeal is without merit and is frivolous, and that the
appeal must be dismissed or affirmed.  See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87
S.Ct. 1396, (1967). The brief meets the requirements of Anders by presenting a
professional evaluation of the record and detailing why there are no arguable grounds
for reversal.  Id. at 744, 87 S.Ct. at 1400; see also High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 810
(Tex. Crim. App. 1978). 
          Counsel represents that he has served a copy of the brief on appellant.  Counsel
also advised appellant of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se
brief.  See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  More than
30 days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief.  Having reviewed the
record and counsel’s brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit and
that there is no reversible error.  See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex.
Crim. App. 2005).  
          We affirm the judgment of the trial court and grant counsel’s motion to
withdraw.
  Attorney J. Sidney Crowley must immediately send the notice required
by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.5(c) and file a copy of that notice with the
Clerk of this Court.
          We deny as moot any pending motions.
PER CURIAM
