KENNETH JEROME MALONE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee



On Appeal from the 228th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 890513



MEMORANDUM  OPINION
	Appellant, Kenneth Jerome Malone, pleaded guilty to intoxication
manslaughter without a plea bargain agreement.  The trial court assessed punishment
at 10 years' confinement.  We affirm.
 Appellant's court-appointed counsel filed a brief concluding that the appeal
is wholly frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets the requirements of Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967), by presenting a
professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable
grounds of error to be advanced.  See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim.
App. 1978); Moore v. State, 845 S.W.2d 352, 353 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.]
1992, pet. ref'd).
	The brief states that a copy was delivered to appellant, whom counsel
advised by letter of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. 
See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  More than 30
days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief.  We have carefully
reviewed the record and counsel's brief.  We find no reversible error in the record,
and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous.
	We affirm the judgment. (1)
