                                The State of Texas, Appellee

             APPEAL FROM 22ND DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY
               BEFORE JUSTICES PURYEAR, PEMBERTON, AND FIELD
                    AFFIRMED ~ OPINION BY JUSTICE PEMBERTON

This is an appeal from the judgment of conviction signed by the district court. Having reviewed

the record and the parties' arguments, the Court holds that there was no reversible error in the

district court's judgment of conviction.    Therefore, the Court affirms the district court's

judgment of conviction. Because appellant is indigent and unable to pay costs, no adjudication

of costs is made.

                            MEMORANDUM                  OPINION

               Thisis an appeal pursuant to Anders v. California.1 Appellant Brenda Elaine King

pleaded guilty to theoffense of arson.2 Aspart of herplea agreement, King signed a stipulation of

evidence inwhich sheadmitted thatshehad intentionally setfire toan apartment building as alleged

in the indictment. At the plea hearing, thedistrict court found the evidence sufficient to support a

finding of guilt, took the matter under advisement subject to a presentence investigation report,

and reset the case for sentencing. At the conclusion of the sentencing hearing, during which no

additional evidence was offered, the district court sentenced King to 10years' imprisonment. This

appeal followed.

               King's court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw supported by a

briefconcluding thattheappeal is frivolous and without merit. Thebriefmeets therequirements of

       1 386 U.S. 738(1967).
