Opinion

No. 09-10-00018-CV

Submitted on April 6, 2011.

Opinion Delivered April 14, 2011.

On Appeal from the 435th District Court Montgomery County, Texas, Trial Cause No. 09-06-05303 CV.

Before McKEITHEN, C.J., KREGER and HORTON, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


A jury found Larry White suffers from a behavioral abnormality that predisposes him to engage in a predatory act of sexual violence. The trial court rendered a final judgment and an order of civil commitment. We affirm the trial court's judgment.

After perfecting appeal, White's appointed appellate counsel filed a brief certifying that the appeal is frivolous. Appellate counsel's brief presents counsel's professional evaluation of the record and asks this Court to accept the Anders brief. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967); In re Commitment of Rayson, No. 09-06-00081-CV, 2007 WL 846555, *1 (Tex. App.-Beaumont Mar. 22, 2007, no pet.) (mem. op.). On January 6, 2011, we granted leave to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief or other response has been filed.

We have reviewed the record and determined that this appeal is wholly frivolous. The Anders brief filed by appellate counsel adequately presents the case, and additional briefing will not aid in the satisfactory submission of the appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 38.9. We find no arguable error requiring further action in this case. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
