¶1MEMORANDUM OPINION
¶2Opinion by
¶3After a jury trial, appellant, Emmanuel Peralta Morales, was convicted of murder and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. We conclude this appeal is frivolous and without merit. We affirm.
¶4I. FACTS
¶5As this is a memorandum opinion and the parties are familiar with the facts, we will not recite them here except as necessary to advise the parties of the Court’s decision and the basic reasons for it. See Tex.R.App. P. 47.4.
¶7On November 24, 2003, appellant’s counsel filed a brief with this Court in which he concluded the appeal is frivolous and without merit. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). In his brief, counsel states: (1) he diligently reviewed the appellate record and the applicable law; (2) he found no grounds of error on which an appeal could be based; (3) in his opinion, the appeal is without merit and is frivolous; and (4) he served a copy of this brief on appellant with a letter informing appellant of his right to examine the entire appellate record and to file a pro se brief on his own behalf. In counsel’s brief, counsel reviews the indictment, voir dire, evidence introduced at trial, arguments, jury charge, and objections made by trial counsel during the underlying proceedings. With citations to the record and legal precedent, counsel explains why he concludes the appeal is without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Andersas it presents a professional evaluation showing why there is no basis to advance an appeal. Id. at 744-45, 87 S.Ct. 1396; Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 509-10, 510 n. 3 (Tex.Crim.App.1991); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812-13 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1978).
¶8On November 24, 2003, appellate counsel also filed a motion for extension of time to file a pro se brief, requesting that we allow appellant ninety days to file his brief. We granted the motion. The ninety days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief.
¶9III.INDEPENDENT REVIEW
¶10Upon receiving an Andersbrief, we must conduct a full examination of all the proceedings to determine whether the case is wholly frivolous. Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988); Ybarra v. State, 93 S.W.3d 922, 926 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 2002, no pet.). We have reviewed the entire record and find that the appeal is wholly frivolous. See Stafford, 813 S.W.2d at 509.
¶11The dissent faults us for “summarily” stating we have independently reviewed the record and suggests that we have not properly complied with the requirements of Penson. Penson requires us, on receipt of an Andersbrief, to conduct a full examination of all the proceedings to decide whether the case is wholly frivolous. Penson, 488 U.S. at 80, 109 S.Ct. 346. Pensondoes not require us to describe our review in detail. We have properly complied with the requirements of Penson.
¶12Moreover, this is a memorandum opinion. Under rule 47.4 of the rules of appellate procedure, a memorandum opinion should be brief and ‘‘no longer than necessary to advise the parties of the court’s decision and the basic reasons for it.” Tex.R.App. P. 47.4 (emphasis added). While in certain instances, a detailed explanation of what our independent review entailed may be required, we conclude this is not such a case and details of our review here would render this opinion longer than necessary under rule 47.4.
¶13Because we find the appeal to be wholly frivolous, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
¶14IV.APPELLATE COUNSEL
¶15Appellate counsel filed a motion to withdraw in connection with his Andersbrief. We grant the motion. See Moore v. State, 466 S.W.2d 289, 291 n. 1 (Tex.Crim.App.1971); see also Stafford, 813 S.W.2d at 511.
¶16We order counsel to advise appellant promptly of the disposition of this case and the availability of discretionary review. *703See Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25, 27 (Tex.Crim.App.1997) (per curiam).
