TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN





NO. 03-02-00406-CR


Javier Montes, Appellant

v.


The State of Texas, Appellee






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 26TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 00-1015-K26, HONORABLE BILLY RAY STUBBLEFIELD, JUDGE PRESIDING



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


Appellant Javier Montes pleaded guilty to attempting to manufacture less than two
hundred grams of methamphetamine.  Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.112(a), (d) (West
Supp. 2003); Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 15.01 (West 2003).  The district court deferred adjudication and
placed appellant on community supervision.  Later, on the State's motion, the court adjudged
appellant guilty and sentenced him to fifteen years' imprisonment.
Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is
frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no
arguable grounds to be advanced.  See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State, 573
S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974);
Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1969).  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.
We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous
and without merit.  We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.  Counsel's
motion to withdraw is granted.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
