Angel Ann Fontenot RAYNER,

Appellant

v.

STATE of Texas,

Appellee

From the 252nd Judicial District Court, Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Court No. 81824

Honorable Leonard J. Giblin, Jr., Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Catherine Stone, Justice

Paul W. Green, Justice

Sarah B. Duncan, Justice

Delivered and Filed: October 2, 2002

MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED; AFFIRMED

Angel Raynor pled guilty to abandonment of a child and was sentenced to two years imprisonment. Pursuant to a plea bargain, the sentence was suspended, and Raynor was placed on three years probation and assessed a $500 fine. Subsequently, Raynor pled true to multiple violations of the conditions of her probation. The trial court revoked probation and sentenced Raynor to one year in the state jail. Raynor's court-appointed attorney on appeal filed a brief in which counsel concludes this appeal is frivolous and without merit. Counsel also filed a motion to withdraw.

Counsel's brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). Specifically, counsel states Raynor was provided with a copy of the brief and motion to withdraw and was further informed of her right to review the record ⁽¹⁾ and file her own brief if she wished. Raynor has not done so.

We reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Furthermore, we grant the motion to withdraw filed by Raynor's counsel. See Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1996, no pet.).
