Miguel Hinojosa v. State
Miguel Hinojosa v. State
Opinion
A jury found appellant guilty of possessing more than four grams of cocaine. Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.115(a), (d) (West Supp. 1999). The district court assessed punishment, enhanced by previous felony convictions, at imprisonment for forty 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. He filed a pro se brief listing, without argument or citation of authority, twenty-two alleged errors. We find no basis for reversing the judgment of conviction in the pro se brief.
We have reviewed the record, counsel's brief, and appellant's pro se brief. We agree with counsel 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.
