v.
The STATE of Texas,

Appellee
From the 198th Judicial District Court, Menard County , Texas

Trial Court No. 04-1982

Honorable Emil Karl Prohl, Judge Presiding

Opinion by: Sandee Bryan Marion , Justice

Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Delivered and Filed: September 13, 2006

AFFIRMED

Defendant, William Emery Katchmazenski, pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. The trial court assessed punishment at twenty years' confinement. Defendant filed a general notice of appeal.

Defendant'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).

Defendant was informed of his right to review the record. Counsel provided defendant with a copy of the brief and advised him of his right to file a pro se brief. Defendant has not filed a brief.

After reviewing the record, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Furthermore, we GRANT 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.).
