                                  Mary Phoung Hill, Appellant

                                                 v.

                                  The State of Texas, Appellee

      FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
         NOS. 61499 & 61500, HONORABLE JOE CARROLL, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               In each of these cases, appellant Mary Phoung Hill pleaded guilty and judicially

confessed to committing forgery. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 32.21 (West Supp. 2007). The court

assessed punishment for each offense at twenty-three months in state jail, to run concurrently.

               Appellant’s court-appointed attorney filed briefs concluding that the appeals are

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

(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the records 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 her right

to examine the appellate records and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.
               We have reviewed the records and counsel’s briefs and agree that the appeals are

frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the records that might arguably support the appeals.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.

               The judgments of conviction are affirmed.

                                              __________________________________________
