Appealed from the District Court of Travis County, 331st Judicial District No. D-1-DC-08-200102, Honorable Michael J. Mccormick, Judge Presiding. Affirmed.

Before Justices PATTERSON, WALDROP and HENSON.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant's court-appointed attorney has filed a brief concluding that the instant appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Crim.App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex.Crim.App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex.Crim.App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Crim.App. 1969). Appellant received a copy of counsel's brief, was provided a copy of the appellate record, and filed a pro se brief. We have reviewed the record, counsel's brief, and the pro se brief. We agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). We therefore affirm the judgment of conviction and grant counsel's motion to withdraw.
