TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-00-00083-CR Michael Morgan, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 0991467, HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING A jury found appellant Michael Morgan guilty of the unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 46.04 (West 1994). The district court assessed punishment at imprisonment for thirty months. Appellant s court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the 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). A copy of counsel s brief was delivered to appellant, and appellant was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed. We have reviewed the record and counsel s brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. The judgment of conviction is affirmed. J. Woodfin Jones, Justice Before Justices Jones, Kidd and Yeakel Affirmed Filed: September 21, 2000 Do Not Publish 2
