                                  The State of Texas, Appellee


 FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 277TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
       NO. 05-1310-K277, HONORABLE KEN ANDERSON, JUDGE PRESIDING



                            MEMORANDUM OPINION


               We withdraw our opinion and judgment dated May 31, 2007, and substitute the

following opinion and judgment in their place.

               Appellant Jimmy Jay Jensen was convicted of five counts of aggravated sexual

assault of a child and two counts of indecency with a child by contact in 2006. See Tex. Penal Code

§§ 21.11, 22.021. Appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment for each count of aggravated sexual

assault and to twenty years’ imprisonment for each of the indecency counts. Appellant’s court-

appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw supported by a brief concluding that the appeal

is frivolous and without merit.

               The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California by presenting a professional

evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967); Garner v. State, 300 S.W.3d 763, 766 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2009); see also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 86–87 (1988). Appellant received copies of

counsel’s motion and brief and was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file

a pro se brief. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Garner, 300 S.W.3d at 766. The trial court has certified

that the appellate record has been made available to appellant, and appellant has submitted a pro se

brief.1 See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 321 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (appellate court should order

entity designated to arrange appellant’s access to record to report to appellate court when record

has been made available to appellant).

               We have conducted an independent review of the record, including appellate

counsel’s brief and appellant’s brief, and find no reversible error. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744;

Garner, 300 S.W.3d at 766; Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We

agree with counsel that the record presents no arguably meritorious grounds for review and the

appeal is frivolous.

               Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. The judgment of conviction is affirmed.




       1
          In our May 31, 2007 opinion, now withdrawn, we affirmed appellant’s conviction pursuant
to the Anders brief filed by counsel. This Court noted that although appellant had been advised of
his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief, no pro se brief had been filed.

         Appellant later applied to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals for a writ of habeas corpus,
asserting that he had been denied due process because the trial court never provided him with
access to the record for the purpose of filing a pro se response brief, despite his request for such
access. See Ex parte Jensen, WR-69,319-04, 2018 WL 2126571, at *1 (Tex. Crim. App. May 9, 2018).
In a per curiam opinion, issued on May 9, 2018, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals concluded that
appellant was entitled to the opportunity to file an out-of-time pro se response brief to counsel’s
Anders brief and ordered appellant “returned to that time at which he may review the record and
prepare a pro se response.” Id. The Court of Criminal Appeals also ordered that the trial court
provide appellant “with access to the trial records for the purpose of filing a pro se response brief”
within 10 days. Id.
