TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-97-00064-CR

NO. 03-97-00065-CR


Jammie Wright, Appellant


v.



The State of Texas, Appellee






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 331ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NOS. 0963685 & 0963687, HONORABLE LARRY FULLER, JUDGE PRESIDING


PER CURIAM

Appellant pleaded guilty to indictments accusing him of robbery and aggravated robbery. Tex. Penal Code Ann. §§ 29.02, 29.03 (West 1994). The district court adjudged him guilty in both causes and, pursuant to plea bargains, assessed terms of imprisonment of eight and twelve years. Appellant filed general notices of appeal, and therefore may contest only jurisdictional issues and the voluntariness of his pleas. Flowers v. State, 935 S.W.2d 131, 134 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).

Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding 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 records 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 records and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.

In light of the frivolous appeal brief, we have examined the records and find no basis for challenging the district court's jurisdiction. Further, the records reflect that appellant's decision to plead guilty was freely and knowingly made.

The judgments of conviction are affirmed.
