TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-00-00341-CR Joseph Michael Clemett, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 331ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 0993830, HONORABLE BOB PERKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING Appellant Joseph Michael Clemett pleaded guilty to intentionally or knowingly causing serious bodily injury to a child. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.04(a)(1) (West Supp. 2000). The district court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for forty years. Appellant’s attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. Although counsel was retained, the brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75(1988); High v. State,
573 S.W.2d 807(Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State,
516 S.W.2d 684(Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Jackson v. State,
485 S.W.2d 553(Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State,
436 S.W.2d 137(Tex. Crim. App. 1969). A copy of counsel’s brief was delivered to appellant, and appellant was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed. We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. The judgment of conviction is affirmed. __________________________________________ Jan P.
