PER CURIAM

<P>In September 1996, after accepting his guilty plea and judicial confession, the
district court found appellant guilty of possession of a firearm by a felon.  Tex. Penal Code Ann.
§ 46.04 (West 1994).  Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, the court assessed punishment at
imprisonment for six years, suspended imposition of sentence, and placed appellant on community
supervision.  In May 1998, a hearing was held on the State's motion to revoke.  After appellant
pleaded true to the alleged violations, the court revoked supervision and imposed the original
sentence.</P>

<P>Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding 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 presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no
arguable grounds to be advanced.  <EM>See also</EM> <EM>Penson v. Ohio</EM>, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); <EM>High v. State</EM>,
573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); <EM>Currie v. State</EM>, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App.
1974); <EM>Jackson v. State</EM>, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); <EM>Gainous v. State</EM>, 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.</P>

<P>We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is
frivolous and without merit.  Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably support
the appeal.</P>

<P>The judgment of conviction is affirmed.</P>
