PER CURIAM

<P>Appellant pleaded guilty to an indictment accusing him of felony driving while intoxicated
and true to enhancement paragraphs alleging two previous felony convictions.  Pursuant to a plea bargain
agreement, the court assessed punishment at imprisonment for twenty-five years.</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
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>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.  A discussion of the contentions advanced in counsel's brief would serve no beneficial
purpose.</P>

<P>The judgment of conviction is affirmed.</P>
