Charles White, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee (2010)

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Appellant Charles White'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).   White received a copy of counsel's brief and was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se response.

We have reviewed the record, counsel's brief, and White's pro se response and we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit.   We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.   See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex.Crim.App.2005).   Counsel's motion to withdraw is granted.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
