Opinion

No. 05-06-01263-CR.

Opinion Filed February 29, 2008. DO NOT PUBLISH. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.

On Appeal from the 292nd Judicial District Court, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. F04-36416-KV.

Before Chief Justice THOMAS and Justices WRIGHT and FRANCIS.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Moises Jimenez Cardozo waived a jury and pleaded guilty to unlawful possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine in an amount more than 400 grams. See Tex. Health Safety Code Ann. § 481.112(a), (f) (Vernon 2003). The trial court assessed punishment at twenty years' imprisonment and a $1500 fine.

Appellant's attorney filed a brief in which he 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. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response.

We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

We affirm the trial court's judgment.
