OPINION
The conviction is for the possession of heroin; the punishment, ten years imprisonment.
The appellant's court-appointed counsel on appeal has filed a brief which raises no ground of error and states "Counsel further finds there is no other error upon which a non-frivolous appeal might be based." The record does not reflect that a copy of the brief was served upon the appellant as is required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137
(Tex.Crim.App. 1969); Holder v. State, 469 S.W.2d 184
(Tex.Crim.App. 1971); Barber v. State, 471 S.W.2d 814
(Tex.Crim.App. 1971). This appeal will be abated until the record shows that there has been a compliance with the above cited authorities. See Simmons v. State, 475 S.W.2d 787 *Page 310 
Grant, 476 S.W.2d 702 (Tex.Crim.App. 1972).
For the reasons stated, the appeal is abated.
Opinion approved by the court.
