NO. 12-17-00391-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS TRAYVON BERNHARD JOHNSON, § APPEAL FROM THE 114TH APPELLANT V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE § SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Trayvon Bernhard Johnson appeals following the revocation of his deferred adjudication community supervision. Appellant’s counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California,386 U.S. 738
,87 S. Ct. 1396
,18 L. Ed. 2d 493
(1967) and Gainous v. State,436 S.W.2d 137
(Tex. Crim. App. 1969). We affirm. BACKGROUND Appellant was charged by indictment with burglary of a habitation and pleaded “guilty.” The trial court deferred finding Appellant “guilty” and placed him on community supervision for five years. Subsequently, the State filed a motion to revoke Appellant’s community supervision alleging that Appellant violated certain terms and conditions thereof. A hearing was conducted on the State’s motion, at which Appellant pleaded “true” to eight violations alleged in the State’s motion. At the conclusion of the hearing, the trial court found that Appellant violated the terms and conditions of his community supervision as alleged in the State’s motion. The trial court revoked Appellant’s community supervision, adjudicated him “guilty” of burglary of a habitation, and sentenced him to imprisonment for twelve years. This appeal followed. ANALYSIS PURSUANT TO ANDERS V. CALIFORNIA Appellant’s counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California and Gainous v. State. Appellant’s counsel states that he diligently reviewed the appellate record and is of the opinion that the record reflects no reversible error and that there is no error upon which an appeal can be predicated. He further relates that he is well acquainted with the facts in this case. In compliance with Anders, Gainous, and High v. State,573 S.W.2d 807
(Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978), Appellant’s brief presents a chronological summation of the procedural history of the case and further states that Appellant’s counsel is unable to raise any arguable issues for appeal. 1 We have likewise reviewed the record for reversible error and have found none. CONCLUSION As required by Stafford v. State,813 S.W.2d 503
(Tex. Crim. App. 1991), Appellant’s counsel moved for leave to withdraw. See also In re Schulman,252 S.W.3d 403
, 407 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (orig. proceeding). We carried the motion for consideration with the merits. Having done so and finding no reversible error, Appellant’s counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is hereby granted and the appeal is affirmed. As a result of our disposition of this case, Appellant’s counsel has a duty to, within five days of the date of this opinion, send a copy of the opinion and judgment to Appellant and advise him of his right to file a petition for discretionary review. See TEX. R. APP. P. 48.4; In reSchulman, 252 S.W.3d at 411
n.35. Should Appellant wish to seek review of this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, he must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review on his behalf or he must file a petition for discretionary review pro se. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed within thirty days from the date of either this opinion or the last timely motion for rehearing that was overruled by this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.3(a).
