TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-01-00730-CR In re Andrew Lee Butler FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 37,253, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING Andrew Lee Butler appeals from an order denying his motion for DNA testing of biological evidence relating to his 1989 conviction for aggravated sexual assault. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. arts. 64.01-.05 (West Supp. 2002). 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. Counsel=s motion to withdraw is granted. The district court=s order is affirmed. ___________________________________________ Mack Kidd, Justice Before Justices Kidd, Patterson and Puryear Affirmed Filed: August 8, 2002 Do Not Publish 2
