MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-11-00623-CR
Juan MEDRANO,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2009CR4544
Honorable Dick Alcala, Judge Presiding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Delivered and Filed: September 5, 2012
AFFIRMED
After a trial on the merits, Juan Medrano was found guilty of robbery and was sentenced
to thirty-two years of imprisonment. Medrano timely filed a notice of appeal. His court-
appointed appellate attorney filed a brief in which she raises one arguable point of error, but
nonetheless concludes that this appeal is frivolous and without merit. See Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). Counsel states that

appellant was provided with a copy of the brief and motion to withdraw and was further
informed of his right to review the record and file his own brief. See Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d
176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.). Medrano did not file a pro se brief.
We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. We agree that the appeal is frivolous
and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Furthermore, we grant the motion
to withdraw. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no
pet.); Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1.
No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should appellant wish to seek further review of
this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, he must either retain an attorney to file a
petition for discretionary review or file a pro se petition for discretionary review. Any petition
for discretionary review must be filed within thirty days from the later of (1) the date of this
opinion; or (2) the date the last timely motion for rehearing is overruled by this court. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 68.2. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed in the Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.3. Any petition for discretionary review should comply
with the requirements of Rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 68.4.
