                                             On Appeal from the 338th District Court

     

                                                               Harris County, Texas

     

                                                     Trial Court Cause No. 1037068

     

      

     

                                                                       O P I N I O N

    The trial court convicted Edward Torres Lopez, upon his plea of guilty, of indecency with a child.  Pursuant to the plea bargain agreement, the trial court assessed his punishment at confinement for fifteen years.  We affirm.


    Appellant=s court-appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw.  The motion is supported by a brief in which counsel professionally and conscientiously examines the record and applicable law and states that she has concluded that the appeal is frivolous.  Counsel has provided appellant with a copy of the brief and advised appellant of his right to review the record and file a response to counsel=s brief.  A response has not been filed.  Court-appointed counsel has complied with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969); Eaden v. State, 161 S.W.3d 173 (Tex. App.CEastland 2005, no pet.).

    Following the procedures outlined in Anders, we have independently reviewed the record, and we agree that the appeal is without merit.

    The motion to withdraw is granted, and the judgment is affirmed.
