B.M., a juvenile, pleaded true to allegations that he engaged in delinquent activity
by committing the offenses of assault and terroristic threat.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. Penal Code Ann.
§§&nbsp;22.01(a), 22.07(a) (West 1994).  The juvenile court adjudged B.M. to have engaged in
delinquent conduct and ordered him to serve one year's probation in a residential facility.  B.M.
gave notice of appeal from the order of disposition.  Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 56.01 (West 1996
&amp; Supp. 1998).

<P>B.M.'s appointed counsel on appeal has filed a brief asserting that the appeal is
frivolous.  The brief complies with the requirements for such briefs discussed in <EM>In Re D.A.S.</EM>, 41
Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1148 (July 3, 1998), and, more generally, in <EM>Anders v. California</EM>, 386 U.S. 738
(1967).  Counsel states that she has diligently examined the record and researched the law
applicable to the facts and issues in the case.  Counsel's brief contains a professional evaluation
of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable errors to be advanced.  A copy of counsel's
brief was delivered to B.M. and to his parent, and they were advised of their right to examine the
appellate record and to file a pro se brief.  No pro se brief has been filed.</P>

<P>We have independently reviewed the record and agree with counsel that the appeal
is frivolous.  The order is affirmed.</P>
