PER CURIAM

<P>Appellant pleaded guilty to an indictment accusing him of aggravated assault.  Tex. Penal
Code Ann. § 22.02 (West 1994).  After finding that the evidence substantiated appellant's guilt, the district
court deferred further proceedings and, pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, placed appellant on
community supervision for two years.  Later, the court revoked supervision on the State's motion,
adjudicated appellant guilty, and sentenced him to imprisonment for five years.</P>

<P>Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and
without merit.  The brief meets the requirements of <EM>Anders v. California</EM>, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by
advancing contentions which counsel says might arguably support the appeal.  <EM>See also</EM> <EM>Penson v. Ohio</EM>,
488 U.S. 75 (1988); <EM>High v. State</EM>, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); <EM>Currie v. State</EM>, 516
S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); <EM>Jackson v. State</EM>, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972);
<EM>Gainous v. State</EM>, 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.</P>

<P>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.</P>

<P>The judgment of conviction is affirmed.</P>
