SHARON DENISE DURBIN, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 177^th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 981,828

O P I N I O N

Sharon Denise Durbin, the appellant, was convicted on her plea of guilty of the offense of forgery enhanced by two prior state jail felony convictions.  The trial court assessed appellant=s punishment at confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of ten years.  In a single point of error, appellant contends she was denied due process of law.  We affirm.

Appellant is represented by retained counsel whose entire argument on appeal is:

The Appellant was denied his [sic] right to due process given to him [sic] by the United States Constitution in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. . . . She is therefore injured as a result of the proceeding.  She now attempts to have that wrong addressed in this Honorable Court by appealing her conviction.@

An appellate brief Amust contain a clear and concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate citations to authorities and to the record.@  Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(h).  Here, appellant=s brief presents nothing for review in that it fails to specify the error allegedly committed below.  Accordingly, we consider this appeal without briefs, as justice may require.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(4).

We have carefully reviewed the record and have found nothing that would arguably support an appeal.  The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
