<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	Tried on an indictment accusing him of capital murder, appellant was found guilty
of the lesser included offense of murder.  The jury assessed punishment at imprisonment for
ninety-nine years.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief in which she concludes that the
appeal is frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets the requirements of <EM>Anders v. California</EM>,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), by advancing contentions which counsel says might arguably support the
appeal.  <EM>See also</EM> <EM>Penson v. Ohio</EM>, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); <EM>Gainous v. State</EM>, 436  S.W.2d 137 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1969); <EM>Jackson v. State</EM>, 485  S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); <EM>Currie v. State</EM>,
516  S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); <EM>High v. State</EM>, 573  S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App.
1978).  A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant, and appellant was advised of his
right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief.  No pro se brief has been filed.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is
frivolous and without merit.  We also agree with counsel that, under the circumstances of this
cause, none of the arguable points present reversible error.  Further discussion of the contentions
advanced in counsel's brief would serve no beneficial purpose.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	The judgment of conviction is affirmed.</SPAN></P>
