TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                    NO. 03-00-00401-CR

                               Carl Wayne Truan, Appellant

                                              v.

                                The State of Texas, Appellee

    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BURNET COUNTY, 33RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT
        NO. 7987, HONORABLE GUILFORD L. JONES III, JUDGE PRESIDING

              Appellant Carl Wayne Truan was placed on deferred adjudication community

supervision after he pleaded guilty to the unauthorized use of a vehicle. See Tex. Penal Code

Ann. § 31.07 (West 1994). The court later revoked supervision, adjudicated appellant guilty, and

assessed punishment at imprisonment for two years and a $5000 fine.

              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 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 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. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the

appeal.

                  The judgment of conviction is affirmed.

                                                     ____________________________________
