TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-99-00631-CR

Benjamin Fira, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY, 119TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. B-99-0068-S, HONORABLE BARBARA WALTHER, JUDGE PRESIDING

Benjamin Fira appeals from an order revoking community supervision.  The
underlying offense is fraudulent transfer of a motor vehicle, for which the district court imposed
sentence of confinement for eighteen months.  See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 32.34 (West 1994).

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 advancing a contention counsel says might arguably support the appeal.  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 appellant, and appellant 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.  A discussion of the contention advanced in counsel's brief would
serve no beneficial purpose.

The order revoking community supervision is affirmed.
