TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-10-00512-CR

Jeffrey Washington, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 427TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. D-1-DC-10-201576, HONORABLE JIM CORONADO, JUDGE PRESIDING

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

	Appellant pled guilty and was convicted of delivery of a controlled substance and
sentenced to five years imprisonment.  Appellant's appointed attorney has filed a brief concluding
that the appeal is frivolous and without merit.  
	Counsel's brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 743-44
(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no
arguable grounds to be advanced.  See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988); Anders, 386 U.S. at
743-44; High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811-13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d
684, 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137, 138 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). 
Appellant's attorney sent appellant a copy of the brief and advised him that he had the right to
examine the record and file a pro se brief.  See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Jackson v. State,
485 S.W.2d 553, 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972).  No pro se brief has been filed.
	We agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit.  We have reviewed the record
and the procedures that were observed and find nothing in the record that might arguably support the
appeal.  We grant counsel's motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment of conviction. (1)
