MARK ANTHONY MURILLO, Appellant

 

V.

 

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 

On Appeal from the 177th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 827,177

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M  O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a plea of guilty to the offense of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance weighing more than 4 grams and less than 200 grams.  On December 12, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for five years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  The trial court granted appellant permission to appeal only the denial of the motion to suppress.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.


Appellant's appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

A copy of counsel=s brief was delivered to appellant.  Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response.  See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  As of this date, no pro se response has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel=s brief and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  Further, we find no reversible error in the record.  A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state.

Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
