MICHELLE RENEY GRIFFIN, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 12th District Court

Grimes County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 13,442 & 13,444

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a plea of nolo contendere to two offenses of delivery of more than  one gram, but less than four grams, of cocaine.  On February 2, 1998, the trial court deferred a finding of guilt in both cases, placed appellant on community supervision for five years, and assessed a $500 fine in cause number 13,444.  The State subsequently moved to adjudicate appellant=s guilt in both cases.  After a hearing, on July 8, 2003, the trial court adjudicated appellant=s guilt in both cases and sentenced appellant to confinement for four years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal in each case.

Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes 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 (1967), 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).  More than sixty days have elapsed, and as of this date, no pro se response has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel=s brief and agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  We find no reversible error in the records concerning any issues unrelated to appellant=s convictions.  A further discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state.

Accordingly, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
