TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-10-00512-CR Jeffrey Washington, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 427TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. D-1-DC-10-201576, HONORABLE JIM CORONADO, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant pled guilty and was convicted of delivery of a controlled substance and sentenced to five years imprisonment. Appellant s appointed attorney has filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. Counsel s brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 743-44 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988); Anders, 386 U.S. at 743-44; High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811-13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684, 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137, 138 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). Appellant s attorney sent appellant a copy of the brief and advised him that he had the right to examine the record and file a pro se brief. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553, 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972). No pro se brief has been filed. We agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We have reviewed the record and the procedures that were observed and find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. We grant counsel s motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment of conviction.1 ___________________________________________ David Puryear, Justice Before Justices Puryear, Pemberton and Rose Affirmed Filed: March 23, 2011 Do Not Publish 1 No substitute counsel will be appointed.
