Annotate this Case
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-96-00729-CR
Santana Guerra, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 0953556, HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING
PER CURIAM

The district court found appellant guilty of burglary of a habitation and assessed punishment, enhanced by a previous felony conviction, at imprisonment for eighteen years. Tex. Penal Code Ann. 30.02 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997). Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is 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 there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); 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).

Appellant filed a pro se brief. Appellant complains of alleged inconsistencies in the complainant's testimony, but the credibility of the witness was for the district court to determine. The complainant's testimony and the other evidence, when viewed most favorably to the State, supports the judgment of guilt. We find no support in the record for appellant's contention that the court considered inadmissible or unadmitted evidence. We also find no support for the contention that trial counsel was ineffective. Pro se points of error one through four are overruled.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
