TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-95-00471-CR

James Harold Brown, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF FAYETTE COUNTY, 155TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 95R-030, HONORABLE FRED A. MOORE, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

The district court found appellant guilty of intentional injury to an elderly

individual. The court assessed punishment, enhanced by a previous felony conviction, at

imprisonment for fifty years and a $2000 fine.

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. Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably support

the appeal.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
