MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Wilbert Lee Hawkins appeals his conviction of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.  We
affirm.
            Appellant entered a negotiated plea of guilty and the trial court placed him on deferred
adjudication community supervision for five years.  The State subsequently filed a motion to
adjudicate guilt based on allegations Appellant had violated the terms and conditions of community
supervision.  Appellant entered a plea of true to the allegation that he committed aggravated robbery
since being placed on community supervision.  The trial court revoked Appellant’s community
supervision, adjudicated him guilty of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and assessed his
punishment at confinement in the state jail for two years.  
            Appellant’s court-appointed counsel has filed a brief in which he has concluded that the
appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  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 demonstrating why,
in effect, there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See 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 has been delivered to Appellant, and Appellant has been advised of his
right to examine the appellate record and 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
wholly frivolous and without merit.  Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably
support the appeal.  The judgment is affirmed.
