NO. 03-00-00090-CR

Bill Cantwell, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 26TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 99-448-K26, HONORABLE BILLY RAY STUBBLEFIELD, JUDGE PRESIDING

---

A jury found appellant Bill Cantwell guilty of theft of property having a value of $1500 or more. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 31.03(a), (e)(4)(A) (West Supp. 2000). The jury assessed punishment, enhanced by two previous felony convictions, at imprisonment for twenty years. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 12.42(a)(2) (West Supp. 2000).

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.
