The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2007CR5641A
Honorable Maria Teresa Herr, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Phylis Speedlin, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Delivered and Filed: November 2, 2011
AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED
Defendant’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief containing a professional
evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.
Counsel concludes that the appeal is without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Defendant was informed of his right to review the record.
Counsel provided defendant with a copy of the brief and advised him of his right to file a pro se
brief. Defendant has not filed a pro se brief.
04-11-00102-CR
After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we agree the appeal is frivolous and
without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s judgment, and we GRANT appellate
counsel’s motion to withdraw. 1 Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio
1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.).
