ABBERT GEORGE GATSON, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 178th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 811,723

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 burglary with intent to commit theft.  On May 3, 1999, the trial court placed appellant on deferred adjudication probation for five years.  On April 3, 2000, the State moved to adjudicate guilt.  On May 18, 2000, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for two years in the State Jail Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a 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.  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.
