Before Justices Howell, Baker, and Burnett
Opinion by Justice Howell
        Billy Don Wesley appeals his conviction for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Punishment, enhanced by two prior convictions, was assessed at confinement for life.
        Appellant's attorney has filed a brief in which appellant's attorney has concluded that the appeal is wholly 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, 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); 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 that he would be given the opportunity to examine the appellate record and that he had a right to file a pro se brief.
        Appellant requested an extension of time to file a pro se brief. This Court granted an extension until June 6, 1989. By letter dated September 5, 1989, this Court informed appellant that this cause would be set for submission if no motion for additional time to file the brief was filed. As of this date, no motion has been filed, and no pro se brief has been tendered.
        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.
