PAULETTE YVETTE HARDY, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

---

On Appeal from the 209th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 794334, 836070

---

O P I N I O N On September 15, 2000, appellant pled guilty to forgery in cause number 836070, and true to the allegations in the State's motion to adjudicated guilt in cause number 794334, without plea bargain agreements. The trial court sentenced appellant to one year in State jail in cause number 836070, and two years in the Department of Criminal Justice Institutional Division in cause number 794334.

Appellant's retained counsel, Connie B. Williams, filed a motion to withdraw as counsel, asserting that after having reviewed the record and the applicable code and case law he found no meritorious claims to raise. See McCoy v. Court of Appeals of Wisconsin, Dist. 1, 486 U.S. 429, 438, 108 S. Ct. 1895, 1902 (1988). Williams sent a copy of the motion to appellant's last known address advising her of her right to object to the motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 6.5.

On March 7, 2002, this Court examined Williams' motion, found it in compliance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 6.5, granted it and advised appellant at her last known address that unless a brief was filed on or before April 8, 2002 or a motion for extension of time was filed and granted, the appeals would be set for submission and considered by the Court without briefs on the records alone. No briefs have been filed on appellant's behalf and appellant has filed no pro se briefs.

After having carefully reviewed the records, we find no reversible error. See Sutherland v. State, 658 S.W.2d 169, 170 (Tex. Crim. App. 1983).

Accordingly, we affirm the judgments.
