John Wayne Rider, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF MILAM COUNTY, 20TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 19,662, HONORABLE DONALD HAMMOND, JUDGE PRESIDING

---

In July 1998, appellant John Wayne Rider pleaded guilty and judicially confessed to endangering a child. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.041(c) (West 1994). The district court found that the evidence substantiated his guilt, deferred further proceedings, and placed appellant on community supervision. In March 1999, the district court revoked supervision on the State's motion, adjudged appellant guilty, and assessed punishment at incarceration in a state jail for twelve months.

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 addressing issues 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 contentions advanced in counsel's brief would serve no beneficial purpose.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
