TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN



NO. 03-11-00639-CR


Rufus E. Adkinson, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee




FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 67205, HONORABLE JOE CARROLL, JUDGE PRESIDING


M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

		After Rufus E. Adkinson pled guilty to the offense of unlawful possession of
a firearm by a felon, the court sentenced him to three years in prison.  See Tex. Penal Code
Ann. § 46.04(a) (West 2011).
		Adkinson's court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw supported by
a brief concluding that this appeal is frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets the requirements
of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (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).  Adkinson was sent a copy of counsel's
brief and was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief.  See
Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.  No pro se brief has been filed and no extension of time was requested.
		We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.  See Garner v. State,
300 S.W.3d 763, 766 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009); Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2005).  We agree with counsel that the appeal is frivolous.  Counsel's motion to withdraw is
granted.  The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
