MEMORANDUM OPINION


Ochang Bashroba appeals his conviction for aggravated assault. Appellant pleaded guilty to the charge pursuant to a plea bargain agreement. The trial judge deferred adjudication of guilt, placed appellant on probation for three years, and assessed a $2000 fine. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke probation, seeking adjudication of appellant's guilt. The trial judge found the allegation in the State's motion true, found appellant guilty of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and assessed punishment at fifteen years' confinement. Appellant was appointed counsel for an appeal. Appellant's attorney filed a brief in which she concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant and advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response. We likewise advised appellant he has a right to file a pro se response. Appellant filed a pro se response claiming there are two arguable issues for appeal. We have reviewed the record, appellate counsel's brief, and appellant's pro se response. We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827-28 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). We affirm the trial court's judgment.
