PER CURIAM

<P>In both causes, the district court found appellant guilty of sexual assault after
accepting his guilty pleas and hearing his judicial confessions.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. Penal Code Ann.
§&nbsp;22.011(a)(2)(A) (West Supp. 1999).  Pursuant to a plea bargain, the court assessed punishment
in both causes at imprisonment for twenty years.</P>

<P>Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed briefs concluding that the appeals are
frivolous and without merit.  The briefs meet 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).  Copies of counsel's briefs were delivered to appellant, and appellant was
advised of his right to examine the appellate records and to file a pro se brief.  Appellant asked for
and was given additional time to file a pro se brief, but none was filed.</P>

<P>We have reviewed the records and counsel's briefs and agree that the appeals are
frivolous and without merit.  Further, we find nothing in the records that might arguably support
the appeals.</P>

<P>The judgments of conviction are affirmed.</P>
