TOMMY WASHINGTON, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 337th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 881,341

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 felony offense of theft as a third offender.  On July 20, 2001, the trial court granted appellant two years deferred adjudication and imposed additional conditions of community supervision.  On October 10, 2001, the State moved to adjudicate guilt.  After a hearing on August 27, 2002, the court adjudicated appellant guilty of felony theft and sentenced him to fifteen months in a state jail facility.   Appellant filed a written notice of appeal.

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), 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.  See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  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.  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.
