Daniel Lee Trollinger v. State

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-00-00012-CR

Daniel Lee Trollinger, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 50,269, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING

Appellant Daniel Lee Trollinger pleaded guilty and judicially confessed to the
offense of arson. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 28.02 (West Supp. 2000). The district court
adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for twelve years.
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, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record 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). 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. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the
appeal.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
