OPINION
ONION, Presiding Judge.
This appeal arises out of a conviction for robbery by assault where the punishment was assessed at fifteen years.
When this appeal was first submitted to this Court, the court-appointed counsel on appeal determined that the appeal was wholly without merit and filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Cr.App.1969), but the record failed to reflect that a copy of the brief was served upon the appellant. As a result, the appeal was abated, 475 S.W.2d 787.
