    v.


    The State of Texas, Appellee






    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY, 22ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT

    NOS. CR-03-265 & CR-03-264, HONORABLE GARY L. STEEL &

    HONORABLE RONALD W. CARR, JUDGES PRESIDING

    Trina Gosnell and John Charles Gosnell II were convicted of possessing more than four ounces but less than five pounds of marihuana. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.121(a), (b)(3) (West 2003). Trina Gosnell’s offense was prosecuted as a class A misdemeanor, and the court assessed her punishment at one year in jail and a $750 fine. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 12.44 (West Supp. 2005). The court assessed John Gosnell’s punishment at two years in state jail. Imposition of both sentences was suspended and appellants were placed on probation. The court certified that both appellants have the right of appeal.

    This Court abated the appeals for a hearing in the trial court after appellants’ retained attorney did not file a brief or respond to notices. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2). Based on the record from this hearing, we determined that appellants failed to make the necessary arrangements for filing a brief. See id. rule 38.8(b)(4). On January 12, 2006, we ordered that the appeals be submitted for decision without briefs on February 13 if no brief was forthcoming. No brief was received and the appeals were submitted as ordered.

    We have examined the appellate records and find no error that should be addressed in the interest of justice. The judgments of conviction are affirmed. Counsel’s motions to withdraw are dismissed.
