TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                     NO. 03-00-00457-CR

                                   Darrell Allen, Appellant

                                               v.

                                 The State of Texas, Appellee

    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 331ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
          NO. 0972680, HONORABLE BOB PERKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING

              The district court found appellant Darrell Allen guilty of possessing cocaine and

assessed punishment at incarceration in a state jail for two years. See Tex. Health & Safety Code

Ann. § 481.115(a), (b) (West Supp. 2001). The court suspended imposition of sentence and

placed appellant on community supervision. One year later, following a hearing on the State’s

motion, the court revoked supervision and imposed sentence.

              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). 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. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the

appeal.

                  The order revoking supervision is affirmed.

                                              __________________________________________
