TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                       NO. 03-05-00472-CR

                                   Daniel Ray Pruitt, Appellant

                                                 v.

                                   The State of Texas, Appellee

        FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
              NO. 57110, HONORABLE JOE CARROLL, JUDGE PRESIDING

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

                 A jury found appellant Daniel Ray Pruitt guilty of theft over $1500. See Tex. Pen.

Code Ann. § 31.03(a), (e)(4)(A) (West Supp. 2005). The district court sentenced him to two years

in state jail.

                 Appellant’s court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is

frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no

arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); 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). Appellant received a copy of counsel’s brief and was advised of his right to

examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.
               We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous

and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. Counsel’s

motion to withdraw is granted.

               The judgment of conviction is affirmed.

                                              ___________________________________________
