    No. 04-10-00781-CR
    Mona Ortiz CUMBY,
    Appellant
    v.
    The STATE of Texas,
    Appellee
    From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
    Trial Court No. 2005CR5702
    Honorable Sharon MacRae, Judge Presiding
    Opinion by:       Marialyn Barnard, Justice
    Sitting:          Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
    Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
    Marialyn Barnard, Justice
    Delivered and Filed: September 14, 2011
    MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED; AFFIRMED
    Appellant Mona Ortiz Cumby pleaded guilty to the offense of credit/debit card abuse.
    The trial court placed her on community supervision for a period of four years. The State
    subsequently filed a motion to revoke Cumby’s community supervision, alleging she had
    violated several terms of her probation. Cumby pleaded true to the alleged violations, the trial
    court found them to be true, revoked Cumby’s probation, and sentenced her to eighteen months

    confinement, which was to run concurrently with a recent theft offense. Cumby filed a notice of
    appeal challenging the trial court’s revocation.
    Cumby’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a motion to withdraw and a brief in
    which he raises no arguable points of error and concludes this appeal is frivolous and without
    merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
    (1967), High v.
    State, 
    573 S.W.2d 807
    (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), and Gainous v. State, 
    436 S.W.2d 137
    (Tex.
    Crim. App. 1969). Counsel provided proof Cumby was given a copy of the brief and motion to
    withdraw and was informed of her right to review the record and file her own brief. Cumby has
    not filed a brief.
    After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we find no reversible error and agree with
    counsel the appeal is wholly frivolous. See Bledsoe v. State, 
    178 S.W.3d 824
    , 826-27 (Tex.
    Crim. App. 2005). We therefore grant the motion to withdraw filed by Cumby’s counsel and
    affirm the trial court’s judgment. See id.; 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.).
    No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should Cumby wish to seek further review of
    this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, she 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 after either the day our judgment is
    rendered or the day the last timely motion for rehearing or timely motion for en banc
    reconsideration is overruled by this court.         See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2.   Any petition for
    discretionary review must be filed with the clerk of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See 
    id. -2- 04-10-00781-CR
    R. 68.3. Any petition for discretionary review must comply with the requirements of Rule 68.4
    of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See 
    id. R. 68.4.
