MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pamela Walker appeals from an order revoking community supervision. We affirm.

 

FACTUAL SUMMARY

 

On February 7, 2003, Appellant entered a negotiated plea of guilty to the offense of forgery. The trial court found Appellant guilty and sentenced her to imprisonment for one year and six months and a $2,000 fine. The court then suspended the sentence and placed Appellant on probation for three years and assessed a $2,000 fine plus restitution. On April 2, 2003, the State filed a motion to revoke based on an allegation that Appellant had failed to provide a current urine sample. Following a contested hearing, the trial court found that Appellant had violated the terms of her probation, revoked Appellant's probation, and assessed punishment at imprisonment of one year and six months and a $2,000 fine plus restitution.

FRIVOLOUS APPEAL

Appellant's court-appointed counsel has filed a brief in which he has concluded that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493, reh. denied, 388 U.S. 924, 87 S. Ct. 2094, 18 L. Ed. 2d 1377 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See 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 has been delivered to Appellant, and Appellant has been advised of her right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.

The record reflects that Appellant was admonished of the consequences of her guilty plea pursuant to Article 26.13 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Appellant made a judicial confession admitting her guilt. We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. The judgment is affirmed.
