      DEONTRA TERREL MASON, Appellant

                         V.

         THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




   On Appeal from the 336th Judicial District Court
               Fannin County, Texas
           Trial Court No. CR-10-23444




    Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
   Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
                                    MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Deontra Terrel Mason appeals from his conviction in a trial before the court for assault.

The trial court found him guilty and sentenced him to one year in county jail.

          Mason’s attorney on appeal has filed a brief which discusses the record and reviews the

proceedings in detail. Counsel has thus provided a professional evaluation of the record

demonstrating why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. This meets the

requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503

(Tex. Crim. App. 1981); and High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978).

          Counsel mailed a copy of the brief and a letter to Mason on June 29, 2011, informing

Mason of his right to file a pro se response and of his right to review the record. No response has

been filed. Counsel has also filed a motion with this Court seeking to withdraw as counsel in this

appeal.

          We have determined that this appeal is wholly frivolous.        We have independently

reviewed the clerk’s record and the reporter’s record, and find no genuinely arguable issue. See

Halbert v. Michigan, 545 U.S. 605, 623 (2005). We, therefore, agree with counsel’s assessment

that no arguable issues support an appeal. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex.

Crim. App. 2005).

         We affirm the judgment of the trial court.1
