WILLIAM BARBE BISHOP,


APPELLANT



vs.






THE STATE OF TEXAS,


APPELLEE





FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NOS. 84,798; 98,604 AND 98,605, HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE







PER CURIAM

In No. 3-90-171-CR, the district court found appellant guilty of theft of property having an aggregate value of $750 or more but less than $20,000 and assessed punishment at imprisonment for ten years. In No. 3-90-172-CR, the district court found appellant guilty of aggravated robbery and assessed punishment at imprisonment for thirty years. In No. 3-90-173-CR, the district court found appellant guilty of aggravated sexual assault and assessed punishment at imprisonment for thirty years.

Appellant's court-appointed attorney has filed briefs in which she has concluded that the appeals are frivolous and without merit. The briefs meet the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the records demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, ___ U.S. ___, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Cr. App. 1969); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Cr. App. 1972); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Cr. App. 1974); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978). Copies of counsel's briefs were delivered to appellant, and appellant was advised of his right to examine the appellate records and to file pro se briefs. No pro se brief has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the records and counsel's briefs and agree that the appeals are frivolous and without merit. Further, we find nothing in the records that might arguably support the appeals.

The judgments of conviction are affirmed.
