TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-01-00421-CR Tony Ray Hill, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 46,028, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING Appellant Tony Ray Hill was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision after pleading guilty to felony criminal mischief and burglary of a habitation. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. ยงยง 28.03, 30.02 (West Supp. 2002). The court later revoked supervision, adjudicated appellant guilty, and sentenced him to ten and twenty-five year terms of imprisonment. 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). A copy of counsel s brief was delivered to appellant, and appellant was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed. We have reviewed the record and counsel s brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. The judgment of conviction is affirmed. __________________________________________ David Puryear, Justice Before Chief Justice Aboussie, Justices B. A.
