TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN



NO. 03-07-00732-CR


Kristina Morgan Aust, a.k.a. Lisa Morgan Aust, 
a.k.a. Elizabeth Ann Morgan, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee




FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF LLANO COUNTY, 33RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 5683, HONORABLE GUILFORD L. JONES III, JUDGE PRESIDING


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

	In 2005, appellant Kristina Morgan Aust (1) was charged by indictment of bribery.  See
Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 36.02 (West 2003).  In January 2006, the trial court signed an order of
deferred adjudication.  About three months later, the State moved to adjudicate appellant's guilt,
alleging that she had tested positive for illegal drugs and alcohol and failed to report to her probation
officer, complete required community service hours, or attend drug treatment.  Appellant contested
the State's allegations, and after conducting a hearing on the State's motion, the trial court entered
a judgment adjudicating her guilt and sentencing her to eight years' imprisonment.  Appellant's
appointed attorney has filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit.  
	Counsel's brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 743-44
(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no
arguable grounds to be advanced.  See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988); Anders, 386 U.S. at
743-44; High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811-13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d
684, 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137, 138 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). 
Appellant's attorney sent appellant a copy of the brief and advised her that she had the right to
examine the record and file a pro se brief.  See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Jackson v. State,
485 S.W.2d 553, 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972).  No pro se brief has been filed.
	We have considered the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is
frivolous and without merit.  We have reviewed the evidence presented to the jury and the
procedures that were observed and find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. 
We grant counsel's motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment of conviction. (2)
