TYLER, TEXAS
ROBERT LUIS ROBINSON, § APPEAL FROM THE 114TH APPELLANT § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
APPELLEE § SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Robert Luis Robinson appeals his conviction for sexual assault of a child. Appellant’s counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967), and Gainous v. State , 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). We affirm.
B ACKGROUND
Appellant was charged by indictment with sexual assault of a child by intentionally and knowingly causing the penetration of the sexual organ of L.H., a child who was younger than seventeen years of age, by penetrating the sexual organ of the child with the sexual organ of Appellant and conceiving a baby with the child, a second degree felony.
Appellant made an “open” plea of “guilty” to the offense charged in the indictment. Appellant and his counsel signed various documents in connection with his plea, including an agreed punishment recommendation and a stipulation of evidence in which he stipulated, and judicially confessed, that each and every allegation in the indictment was true and correct, and constituted the evidence in the case. The trial court accepted Appellant’s plea, found the evidence sufficient to substantiate Appellant’s plea, and adjudged Appellant “guilty” of the *2 charged offense. After a hearing, the trial court sentenced Appellant to sixteen years of imprisonment. [2] This appeal followed. NALYSIS URSUANT TO NDERS V C ALIFORNIA
Appellant’s counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders and Gainous , stating that she diligently reviewed the appellate record and is of the opinion that the record reflects no reversible error and that there is no error upon which an appeal can be predicated. From our review of counsel’s brief, it is apparent that counsel is well acquainted with the facts in this case. In compliance with Anders , Gainous , and High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807, 812 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), counsel’s brief presents a chronological summation of the procedural history of the case, and further states that counsel is unable to raise any arguable issues for appeal. [3] We have reviewed the record for reversible error and have found none. Bledsoe v. State , 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). ONCLUSION
As required by Stafford v. State , 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991), Appellant’s counsel moved for leave to withdraw. See also , 252 S.W.3d 403, 407 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (orig. proceeding). We carried the motion for consideration with the merits. Having done so and finding no reversible error, Appellant’s counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is hereby granted , and the trial court’s judgment is affirmed . Tex. R. App. P. 43.2.
Appellant’s counsel has a duty to, within five days of the date of this opinion, send a copy of the opinion and judgment to Appellant and advise him of his right to file a petition for *3 discretionary review. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 48.4; In re Schulman , 22 S.W.3d at 411 n.35. Should Appellant wish to seek further review of this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, he must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review or he must file a pro se petition for discretionary review. See In re Schulman , 22 S.W.3d at 408 n.22. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed within thirty days from the date of either this opinion, or if a motion for rehearing is filed, the date that the last timely motion for rehearing is overruled by this Court. T EX . R. A PP . P. 68.2(a). Any petition for discretionary review must be filed with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. T EX . R. PP . P. 68.3. Any petition for discretionary review should comply with the requirements of Rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. R. PP P. 68.4; , 22 S.W.3d at 408 n. 22.
