NO. 03-99-00443-CR

Thurlow Ronnie Johnson, a/k/a Thurlow Ronnie Johnson, Jr., Appellant

v.



The State of Texas, Appellee





FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NOS. 46,011 & 49,755, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING

In number 3-99-442-CR, appellant Thurlow Ronnie Johnson appeals from an order revoking community supervision; the underlying offense is forgery. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 32.21 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999). In number 3-99-443-CR, Johnson appeals from a judgment of conviction for credit card abuse. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 32.31 (West 1994). Appellant pleaded true in the former cause and guilty in the latter. The district court assessed punishment in each cause at incarceration in a state jail for two years.

Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeals are 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 records and counsel's brief and agree that the appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the records that might arguably support the appeals.

In number 3-99-442-CR, the order revoking community supervision is affirmed. In number 3-99-443-CR, the judgment of conviction is affirmed.
