The STATE of Texas,

From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 95-CR-6016-A

Honorable Samuel B. Katz, Judge Presiding

Opinion by: Tom Rickhoff, Justice

AFFIRMED

Michael D. Green pled guilty to aggravated robbery, pursuant to a plea bargain. Appellant was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for ten years. Later, appellant was adjudicated guilty and punishment was assessed at ten years confinement. Appellant filed a general notice of appeal.

Appellant's court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. Counsel concludes that the appeal is without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Appellant was informed of his right to review the record. Counsel provided appellant with a copy of the brief and advised him of his right to file a pro se brief. Appellant's pro se brief was due April 4, 2001; he has not filed a brief.

After reviewing the record, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. Because appellant filed a general notice of appeal, and no jurisdictional issues are present, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 42.12, 5(b) (Vernon Supp. 2001); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3); Cooper v. State, No. 1100-99, 2001 WL 321579 (Tex. Crim. App. Apr. 4, 2001); Manuel v. State, 994 S.W.2d 658, 661-62 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999); Pearson v. State, 994 S.W.2d 176 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999); Watson v. State, 924 S.W.2d 711, 714-15 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); Martinez v. State, 5 S.W.3d 722, 724-25 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1999, no pet.).

We grant appellate counsel's motion to withdraw. Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 86 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1996, no pet.).
