MEMORANDUM OPINION

No. 04-04-00561-CR

William HOOPER,

Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas,

Appellee

From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2004-CR-2520-W

Honorable Phil Chavarria, Jr., Judge Presiding

Opinion by:    Catherine Stone, Justice

Sitting:            Catherine Stone, Justice

Sarah B. Duncan, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Delivered and Filed:   June 1, 2005

AFFIRMED

            William Hooper pleaded nolo contendere to possession of one gram or more but less than four grams of cocaine and was placed on four years deferred adjudication probation. On July 15, 2004, the trial court revoked Hooper’s deferred adjudication probation and assessed punishment at six years confinement. We affirm.

            Hooper’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. Counsel concludes that the appeal is without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

            A copy of counsel’s brief was delivered to Hooper, who was advised of his right to examine the record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed. After reviewing the record, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is therefore affirmed. Furthermore, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n. 1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.).
