AFFIRMED: Opinion by Justice Pemberton (Before Chief Justice Law, Justices Pemberton and Waldrop)
03-07-00414-CR
Deron Leon Woodson v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 264th District Court of Bell County
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
Appellant pleaded guilty to burglary of a habitation. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 30.02 (West 2003). The trial court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at ten years in prison.
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 received a copy of counsel's brief and 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 judgment of conviction is affirmed.
