AT AUSTIN

AND

NO. 3-93-126-CR




ROY DESHAWN TAYLOR,


APPELLANT



vs.






THE STATE OF TEXAS,


APPELLEE





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


NOS. 41,853 & 41,854, HONORABLE RICK MORRIS, JUDGE PRESIDING







PER CURIAM

In each cause, a jury found appellant guilty of delivering less than twenty-eight grams of cocaine, a controlled substance. Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.112 (West 1992). The district court assessed punishment in each cause at imprisonment for twenty-five years.

Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief in which he concludes that the appeals are 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); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). 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 records and counsel's brief 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.
