                                                §

                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Lucy Galindo Williams appeals a conviction for the offense of delivery of a controlled

substance. Appellant plead guilty to the charged offense and requested the trial court assess

punishment. The trial court sentenced Appellant to 180 days’ imprisonment in the State Jail

Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. We affirm.

       Appellant’s appointed counsel has filed a brief in which she concludes that the appeal is

frivolous and without merit. Appellate counsel states that she has studied the record and has

found no error preserved for appeal that could serve as grounds for reversible error. The brief

meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493,

reh. denied, 388 U.S. 924, 87 S. Ct. 2094, 18 L. Ed. 2d 1377 (1967), by presenting a professional

evaluation of the record, and demonstrating why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to be

advanced.1 See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Crim.App. 1978). A copy of counsel’s brief

has been delivered to Appellant, and Appellant has been advised of her right to examine the

appellate record and file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.

       The record reflects that Appellant judicially confessed to the facts as alleged in the

indictment and was admonished in writing of the consequences of her guilty plea pursuant to

Article 26.13 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Based on the record before us, the guilty

plea appears to have been freely and voluntarily made by Appellant. We have carefully reviewed

the entire record and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we

find nothing in the record that may arguably support the appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the trial

court’s judgment.
