                                             Appellant,
                               V.
                      THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                               Appellee.

 MOTION TO WITHDRAW PURSUANT TO ANDERS v. CALIFORNIA,
                  386 U.S. 738 (1967)

TO THE HONORABLE SIXTH COURT OF APPEALS:

    NOW COMES JEFF T. JACKSON, counsel for Appellant

Brian Lynn Puckett, and hereby moves to withdraw from

representation   of    Appellant    pursuant   to   Anders      v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).         In support of this

motion, counsel shows as follows:

                               I.

    Counsel has thoroughly reviewed the record on appeal,

and, for these reasons, is thoroughly familiar with the

case.

                                1
                              II.

    Counsel has, in the exercise of his professional

judgment, determined that the instant case presents no

non-frivolous issues for appeal, and, in accordance with

the Supreme Court’s decision in Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), now so advises the court and requests

permission to withdraw.     Anders, id. at 744.

                             III.

    In   accordance        with       Anders,   counsel      has,

contemporaneously   with    this      motion,   filed   a   brief

outlining all issues which might arguably support an

appeal and explaining why those issues are meritless.

Anders, Id.

                              IV.

    Counsel has furnished the appellant with a copy of

said brief, a copy of this motion, and a letter apprising

Appellant of counsel’s actions and Appellant’s rights

regarding these matters.

                                  2
                            V.

    Having determined that the instant appeal is wholly

frivolous, and having complied with the briefing and

notice requirements of Anders v. California, counsel now

requests that he be allowed to withdraw, pursuant to

Anders.

    WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, it is prayed that

the Court grant counsel’s request and allow counsel to

withdraw   from   this   case,    pursuant   to   Anders   v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

                           Respectfully submitted,
