V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 208th District Court

Trial Court Cause No. 1007789

MEMORANDUM OPINION  

          Appellant, Brandon Elias Hand, was convicted by a jury of burglary of a habitation with intent to commit theft, and punishment was assessed at confinement for 51 years. We affirm.

          Appellant’s court-appointed counsel has filed a brief concluding that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds of error to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Moore v. State, 845 S.W.2d 352, 353 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, pet. ref’d).

          Counsel represents that he has served a copy of the brief on appellant. Counsel also advised appellant of her right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). More than 30 days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief. Having reviewed the record and counsel’s brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit and that there is no reversible error. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27(Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

          We affirm the judgment of the trial court and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.

          We deny any pending motions as moot.
