  • IN THE COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS,


    AT AUSTIN






    NO. 3-92-221-CR




    ODDIS EUGENE PEOPLES,


    APPELLANT



    vs.






    THE STATE OF TEXAS,


    APPELLEE





    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT


    NO. 38,635, HONORABLE JACK W. PRESCOTT, JUDGE PRESIDING







    PER CURIAM

    The district court found appellant guilty of delivering less than twenty-eight grams of cocaine, a controlled substance, and assessed punishment at imprisonment for ten years, probated. Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.112 (West 1992). The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke appellant's probation. At the hearing on the motion to revoke, appellant pleaded true to the alleged violations of the conditions of probation. The court granted the motion, revoked appellant's probation, and imposed sentence.

    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 his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.

    We have carefully 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 order revoking probation is affirmed.
