TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-98-00457-CR
Carl Ray Hawkins, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 331ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 0980615, HONORABLE BOB PERKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING PER CURIAM
A jury found appellant guilty of sexual assault. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.011 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999). The jury assessed punishment, enhanced by a previous felony conviction, at imprisonment for life.
Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California,
(1967), by advancing a contention counsel says might arguably support the appeal. 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). A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant, and appellant was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. A discussion of the contention advanced in counsel's brief would serve no beneficial purpose.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
