                             APPELLANT'S BRIEF

       After a review of the record, the Appellant's counsel concludes that the

appeal is frivolous and that there are no arguable points of error (Appellant’s

Brief, pp. 1, 7).



       Wherefore, Premises Considered, the State of Texas prays that the

decision of the Trial Court be affirmed, Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87

S.Ct. 1396 (1967); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 Tex.Cr.App.1969).

              WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, and since no reversible

error is shown, the State respectfully prays that this Court affirm the

conviction.

                                      Respectfully submitted,
