JERRY POTTER, Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 338th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 883572




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant, Jerry Potter, pleaded no contest to burglary of a habitation with intent to commit theft, and true to two enhancement paragraphs that alleged he had been finally convicted of two prior felony offenses. After preparation of a presentence investigation report, the trial court assessed punishment at confinement for 28 years. We affirm.

               Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a brief concluding that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds of error to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Moore v. State, 845 S.W.2d 352, 353 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, pet. ref’d).

               The brief states that a copy was delivered to appellant, whom counsel advised by letter of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). More than 30 days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief. We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. We find no reversible error in the record, and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous.

               We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

 

               We grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. See Stephens v. State, 35 S.W.3d 770, 771 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2000, no pet.).
