Therese Ann Ladd v. State
Opinion

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
AT AMARILLO
PANEL B
JANUARY 30, 2007
______________________________
THERESE ANN LADD,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
_________________________________
FROM THE 251 ST DISTRICT COURT OF RANDALL COUNTY;
NO. 17294-C; HON. PATRICK A. PIRTLE, PRESIDING
_______________________________
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Therese Ann Ladd appeals from a judgment revoking her probation and adjudicating her guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by contact. We affirm.
The trial court initially deferred appellant’s adjudication of guilt and placed her on community supervision. The State subsequently moved to adjudicate her guilty alleging six violations of her probation. Appellant pled true to five of those alleged violations. The court then granted the motion and adjudicated appellant guilty.
Appellant’s counsel has filed a motion to withdraw, after filing a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), representing he has searched the record and found no arguable grounds for reversal. The motion and brief illustrate that counsel notified appellant of her right to file her own brief. So too did we inform appellant that any pro se response or brief she cared to file had to be filed by January 29, 2007. To date, no response or request for extension of time to file a response has been received.
In compliance with the principles enunciated in Anders , appellate counsel discussed two potential areas for appeal. They involve 1) error in revoking appellant’s probation, and 2) ineffective assistance of counsel. However, counsel has satisfactorily explained why each argument lacks merit.
We have also conducted our own review of the record to assess the accuracy of appellate counsel’s conclusions and to uncover any reversible error pursuant to Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). Our own review has failed to reveal such error. (footnote: 1)
Accordingly, the motion to withdraw is granted, and the judgment is affirmed.

FOOTNOTES
1:
The judgment indicates that the trial court found appellant had committed all six alleged violations of her probation. However, on the record, the trial court indicated that the allegations of failure to make various payments were not the basis of its order. Nevertheless, appellant pled true to the allegation she failed to register as a sex offender and there was sufficient evidence to support the allegation she failed to attend and successfully complete sex offender treatment.
