TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-02-00243-CR
In re Joe Manuel Bassa
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 46,704, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING
Joe Manuel Bassa appeals from an order denying post-conviction DNA testing. See Tex.
Code Crim. Proc. Ann. arts. 64.01-.05 (West Supp. 2002). 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. Counsel=s motion to
withdraw is granted.
The district court=s order is affirmed.
