    TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN





    NO. 03-95-00318-CR





    Christine Ann Cowden, Appellant



    v.



    The State of Texas, Appellee







    FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF BELL COUNTY

    NO. 2C94-1617, HONORABLE JOHN BARINA, JUDGE PRESIDING





    PER CURIAM



    A jury found appellant guilty of driving while intoxicated. The county court at law assessed punishment at incarceration for 365 days and a $1000 fine, but suspended imposition of sentence and placed appellant on probation.

    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 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);
    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 her 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. Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

    The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
