FROM THE 46TH DISTRICT COURT OF HARDEMAN COUNTY;

NO. 3876; HONORABLE TOM NEELY, JUDGE

Before QUINN, C.J., and REAVIS and CAMPBELL, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
	Following a plea of not guilty, appellant Bobby Lewayne Thomas  was convicted of
manufacturing of a controlled substance, namely methamphetamine, and sentenced to 25
years confinement.  In presenting this appeal, counsel has filed an Anders (1) brief in support
of a motion to withdraw.  We grant counsel's motion and affirm.
 In support of his motion to withdraw, counsel certifies he has diligently reviewed the
record, and in his opinion, the record reflects no reversible error upon which an appeal can
be predicated.  Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967);
Monroe v. State, 671 S.W.2d 583, 585 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1984, no pet.). Thus, he
concludes the appeal is frivolous.  In compliance with High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 813
(Tex.Cr.App. 1978), counsel has candidly discussed why, under the controlling authorities,
there is no error in the trial court's judgment.  Counsel has also shown that he sent a copy
of the brief to appellant and informed appellant that, in counsel's view, the appeal is without
merit.  In addition, counsel has demonstrated that he notified appellant of his right to review
the record and file a pro se response if he desired to do so.  Appellant subsequently filed
a response.  The State did not favor us with a brief.
	By his Anders brief, counsel raises multiple grounds that he believes could plausibly
support an appeal.  We have reviewed these grounds in addition to the grounds raised by
appellant.  We have also made an independent review of the entire record to determine
whether there are any other arguable grounds which might support an appeal.  See 
Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S. Ct. 346, 102 L. Ed. 2d 300 (1988); Bledsoe v. State, 178
S.W.3d 824 (Tex.Cr.App. 2005).  We have found no reversible grounds and agree with
counsel that the appeal is frivolous.
	Accordingly, counsel's motion to withdraw is hereby granted and the trial court's
judgment is affirmed.
