RODERICK HOUSTON, Appellant
 
V.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
 

 
On Appeal from the 7th District
Court
Smith County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No.

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N
Appellant
entered a plea of guilty, without an agreed recommendation on punishment, to
engaging in organized criminal activity.  On June 17, 2008, the trial court
sentenced appellant to confinement for fifteen years in the Institutional
Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a timely
notice of appeal.




Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in
which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  The brief
meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct.
1396 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and
demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See High v.
State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811-12 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).
A copy
of counsel=s brief was delivered to appellant.  Appellant was advised of the right
to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response.  See Stafford v.
State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  As of this date, more
than sixty days has elapsed and no pro se response has been filed.
We have
carefully reviewed the record and counsel=s brief and agree the appeal is
wholly frivolous and without merit.  See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d
824, 827-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).  Further, we find no reversible error in
the record.  A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence
of the state.  
Accordingly,
the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
