</strong>Appellant Joseph Michael Clemett pleaded guilty to intentionally or knowingly
causing serious bodily injury to a child.  <em>See</em> Tex. Penal Code Ann. &#167; 22.04(a)(1) (West Supp.
2000).  The district court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for forty
years.

<p>Appellant's attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without
merit.  Although counsel was retained, the brief meets the requirements of <em>Anders v. California</em>,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why
there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  <em>See also</em> <em>Penson v. Ohio</em>, 488 U.S. 75 (1988);
<em>High v. State</em>, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); <em>Currie v. State</em>, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1974); <em>Jackson v. State</em>, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); <em>Gainous v. State</em>,
436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969).  A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant,
and appellant was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. 
No pro se brief has been filed.

<p>We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is
frivolous and without merit.  We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

<p>The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
