TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN



NO. 03-09-00171-CR


Alfred Ray Blevins, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee




FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF MILAM COUNTY, 20TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. CR22,226, HONORABLE ED MAGRE, JUDGE PRESIDING


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

	Appellant Alfred Ray Blevins was convicted of possession of less than one gram
cocaine, enhanced to a third-degree felony by two prior convictions.  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 him that he 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. (1)
