DELANA JO YOUNGBLOOD                                                   APPELLANT
 
                                                   V.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS                                                                STATE
 
                                              ------------
 
              FROM
THE 355TH DISTRICT COURT OF HOOD COUNTY
 
                                              ------------
 
                                MEMORANDUM
OPINION[1]
 
                                              ------------
A jury convicted Appellant
Delana Jo Youngblood of two offenses of possession of a controlled substance,
methamphetamine, in the amount of less than one gram; found the enhancement
paragraphs true upon her pleas of true; and assessed her punishment at ten
years= confinement in each case.  The
trial court sentenced her accordingly.




In each case, Appellant=s court-appointed appellate counsel has filed a motion to withdraw as
counsel and a brief in support of that motion. 
Counsel=s briefs and
motions meet the requirements of Anders v. California[2]
by presenting a professional evaluation of the records demonstrating why there
are no reversible grounds on appeal and referencing any grounds that might
arguably support the appeals.[3]  We afforded Appellant an opportunity to file
a brief on her own behalf in each case; she did not.
In our duties as a reviewing
court, we must conduct an independent evaluation of the records to determine
whether counsel is correct in determining that the appeals are frivolous.[4]  Only then may we grant counsel=s motions to withdraw.[5]    




We have carefully reviewed
the records and counsel=s
briefs.  We agree that the appeals are
wholly frivolous and without merit.  We
find nothing in the records that might arguably support the appeals.[6]  We therefore grant the motions to withdraw
filed by Appellant=s counsel
and affirm the trial court=s judgments.
