Douglas Oneil Barnes v. State

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-13-00831-CR Douglas Oneil BARNES, Appellant v. The State The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 198th Judicial District Court, Bandera County, Texas Trial Court No. CR13-001 Honorable M. Rex Emerson, Judge Presiding Opinion by: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: November 19, 2014 AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED In June 2013, appellant was placed on community supervision for five years. On October 8, 2013, the State filed a motion to revoke appellant’s community supervision. At the hearing on the State’s motion, appellant pled true to violating several conditions of his supervision. The trial court revoked appellant’s community supervision, and assessed punishment at seven years’ confinement. Appellant’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. 04-13-00831-CR California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Appellant was informed of his right to review the record and of his right to file a pro se brief. Appellant did not file a pro se brief. 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.
