MEMORANDUM OPINION


Sineo Bronte Cassel waived a jury and pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of marijuana in an amount of five pounds or less, but more than four ounces. See Tex. Health Safety Code Ann. § 481.121(a), (b)(3) (Vernon 2003). Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial court assessed punishment at two years' confinement in a State jail facility, probated for three years, and a $1500 fine. The State later moved to revoke appellant's community supervision, alleging appellant violated the terms of his community supervision. The trial court found the allegations true, revoked appellant's community supervison, and assessed punishment at eighteen months' imprisonment in a State jail facility. 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. Appellant filed a pro se response raising several issues. We have reviewed the record, counsel's brief, and appellant's pro se response. 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.
