Before Justices Morris, Wright, and Moseley


MEMORANDUM OPINION


In this case, Charles Edward McDonald appeals his conviction for theft of property with a value less than $1500, having two prior theft convictions. Before a magistrate, appellant entered a guilty plea to the charge without a plea bargain agreement. The trial court adopted the magistrate's findings, found appellant guilty, and assessed punishment at seven hundred days' confinement in a state jail facility and a $500 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 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant he has a right to file a pro se response. Appellant, however, did not file a pro se response. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. 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.
