Appeal from the County Court at Law of Nacogdoches County, Texas.

Panel consisted of WORTHEN, C.J., GRIFFITH, J., and HOYLE, J.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Jaimar Desean Smith appeals his conviction for misdemeanor driving while intoxicated, for which he was sentenced to confinement for one hundred eighty days, probated for sixteen months. Appellant's counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967) and Gainous v. State , 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Crim.App. 1969). We affirm.

Background

Appellant was charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and pleaded "not guilty." The matter proceeded to a jury trial. Ultimately, the jury found Appellant "guilty" as charged. Thereafter, the trial court sentenced Appellant to confinement for one hundred eighty days, but probated Appellant's sentence and placed Appellant on community supervision for sixteen months. The trial court further imposed on Appellant a fine of one thousand five hundred dollars and ordered that Appellant pay court costs of three hundred thirty-nine dollars. This appeal followed.

Analysis Pursuant to Anders v. California

Appellant's counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California and Gainous v. State . Appellant's counsel states that he has diligently reviewed the appellate record and is of the opinion that the record reflects no reversible error and that there is no error upon which an appeal can be predicated. He further relates that he is well acquainted with the facts in this case. In compliance with Anders , Gainous , and High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1978), Appellant's brief presents a chronological summation of the procedural history of the case and further states that Appellant's counsel is unable to raise any arguable issues for appeal. We have likewise reviewed the record for reversible error and have found none.

Conclusion

As required by Stafford v. State , 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991), Appellant's counsel has moved for leave to withdraw. We carried the motion for consideration with the merits. Having done so and finding no reversible error, Appellant's counsel's motion for leave to withdraw is hereby granted and the trial court's judgment is affirmed .
