Annotate this Case
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-97-00242-CR
NO. 03-97-00243-CR
Donald Edward Cook, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 331ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NOS. 0965116 & 0965118, HONORABLE BOB PERKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING
PER CURIAM

Appellant pleaded guilty to possessing more than four grams but less than two hundred grams of cocaine and methamphetamine with intent to deliver. Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. 481.115 (West Supp. 1997). With regard to the cocaine offense, the district court found that the evidence substantiated guilt, deferred further proceedings, and placed appellant on community supervision. In the methamphetamine case, the district court adjudged appellant guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for ten years. In both causes, the punishment was in accord with a plea bargain. Appellant filed a pro se general notice of appeal.

Appellant represents himself on appeal. The Clerk's written notices to appellant have been returned undelivered. Appellant has not advised the Clerk of his present address. We conclude that appellant does not desire to pursue the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(c), 38.8(b)(4).

We have examined the record and find no basis for questioning the district court's jurisdiction or any evidence that appellant's guilty plea was involuntary. We find no other error that should be considered in the interest of justice.

The district court's order and judgment are affirmed.
