    Charles Davis, Appellant
    v.
    The State of Texas, Appellee
    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
    NOS. 2034215, 9040508 & D-1-DC-05-900009
    HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    In June 2005, appellant Charles Davis pleaded guilty to an information accusing
    him of possessing cocaine and to two indictments accusing him of family violence assault. See
    Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.115 (West 2003), Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.01
    (West Supp. 2006). The trial court adjudged him guilty of the three offenses and assessed eight-year
    prison terms, but the court suspended imposition of the sentences and placed appellant on
    community supervision. In May 2006, the court revoked supervision in each case after appellant
    admitted some of the violations alleged in the State’s motions to revoke. The court imposed three
    concurrent five-year prison terms.
    Appellant’s court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeals are
    frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
    (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the records demonstrating why there are no
    arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 
    488 U.S. 75
    (1988); High v. State,
    
    573 S.W.2d 807
    (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 
    516 S.W.2d 684
    (Tex. Crim. App. 1974);
    Jackson v. State, 
    485 S.W.2d 553
    (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 
    436 S.W.2d 137
    (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). Appellant received a copy of counsel’s brief and was advised of his right
    to examine the appellate records and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.
    We have reviewed the records and counsel’s brief and agree that the appeals are
    frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeals.
    Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
    The judgments of conviction are affirmed.
