                           _______________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.

       Irene Elaine Maestas (appellant) appeals her conviction for failing to report child

abuse. Appellant’s appointed counsel has now filed a motion to withdraw, together with

an Anders1 brief, wherein he certified that, after diligently searching the record, he

concluded that the appeal was without merit. Along with his brief, appellate counsel

filed a copy of a letter sent to appellant informing her of counsel’s belief that there was

       See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744-45, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967).
no reversible error and of appellant’s right to file a response pro se. By letter dated

June 16, 2010, this court also notified appellant of her right to tender her own response

and set July 16, 2010, as the deadline to do so. To date, no response has been filed.

       In compliance with the principles enunciated in Anders, appellate counsel

discussed one potential area for appeal. It included the sufficiency of the evidence.

However, counsel then proceeded to explain why the evidence was sufficient to support

appellant’s conviction.

       In addition, we have conducted our own review of the record to assess the

accuracy of appellate counsel’s conclusions and to uncover any reversible error

pursuant to Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 508 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). After doing so,

we concur with counsel’s conclusions.

       Accordingly, the motion to withdraw is granted, and the judgment is affirmed.2

           Appellant has the right to file a pro se petition for discretionary review from this opinion.
