TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-02-00414-CR NO. 03-02-00415-CR Alan Watson, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 331ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT NOS. 9024047 & 9024048, HONORABLE FRED A. MOORE, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION In both causes, a jury found appellant Alan Watson guilty of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. ' 22.02 (West 1994). The district court assessed punishment in each cause, enhanced by previous felony convictions, at imprisonment for twenty-five years. Appellant=s court-appointed attorney filed briefs concluding that the appeals are frivolous and without merit. The briefs meet 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). Copies of counsel=s briefs were 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 records and counsel=s briefs and agree that the appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the records that might arguably support the appeals. Counsel=s motions to withdraw are granted. The judgments of conviction are affirmed. __________________________________________ Jan P.
