    TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
    

    


    


    

    

    

    NO. 03-95-00169-CR
    

    

    

    


    


    

    Jimmy Ray Shimek, Appellant
    

    


    

    v.
    

    


    

    The State of Texas, Appellee
    

    


    


    

    

    

    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BASTROP COUNTY, 21ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
    

    

    NO. 8090, HONORABLE JOHN L. PLACKE, JUDGE PRESIDING
    

    

    

    


    


    

    PER CURIAM
    


    

    	The district court found appellant guilty of murder.  The court assessed punishment
at imprisonment for thirty-five years.
    

    	Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief in which he concludes that the
appeal is frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California,
    386 U.S. 738 
    (1967), by advancing contentions which counsel says might arguably support the
appeal.  See also Penson v. Ohio,
    488 U.S. 75 
    (1988); Gainous v. State,
    436 S.W.2d 137 
    (Tex.
Crim. App. 1969); Jackson v. State,
    485 S.W.2d 553 
    (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Currie v. State,
    516 S.W.2d 684 
    (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); High v. State,
    573 S.W.2d 807 
    (Tex. Crim. App.
1978).  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.  A discussion of the contentions advanced in counsel's brief would
serve no beneficial purpose.
    

    	The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
