TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-02-00239-CR David Joe Bridges, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF TOM GREEN COUNTY NO. 01-02186L2, HONORABLE PENNY ROBERTS, JUDGE PRESIDING A jury found appellant David Joe Bridges guilty of driving while intoxicated. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. ' 49.04 (West Supp. 2002). The court assessed punishment at incarceration for ninety days and a $300 fine, but suspended imposition of sentence and placed appellant on community supervision. 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. Counsel=s motion to withdraw is granted. The judgment of conviction is affirmed. __________________________________________ David Puryear, Justice Before Justices Kidd, Patterson and Puryear Affirmed Filed: August 30, 2002 Do Not Publish 2
