TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                          NO. 03-02-00407-CR

                                      Robert Morrison, Appellant

                                                     v.

                                     The State of Texas, Appellee

         FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
               NO. 9020022, HONORABLE DON B. MORGAN, JUDGE PRESIDING

                               MEMORANDUM OPINION

                A jury found appellant Robert Morrison guilty of failing to appear in accordance with the

terms of his bail, for which it assessed a punishment of seven years= imprisonment. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. '

38.10 (West 1994). His 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). A copy of

counsel=s brief was delivered to Morrison, who 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.

                 The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
