From the 386th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2006-JUV-03260
Honorable Laura Parker, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Delivered and Filed: October 22, 2008
DISMISSED AS MOOT
This is an appeal from the trial court’s order of adjudication following a plea of true to a
motion to modify disposition in a juvenile matter. Appellant’s court-appointed attorney filed a brief
in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Counsel concludes the appeal has
no merit. Counsel provided appellant with a copy of the brief and informed her of her right to review
the record and file her own brief. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (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.). Counsel also filed a letter with this court stating the appeal would become moot on August
23, 2008, the date on which appellant turns eighteen years of age. Accordingly, on August 12, 2008,
we ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed as moot. Appellant did
not respond. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed as moot. See In re L.S., 04-07-00751-CV, 2008 WL
04-08-00465-CV
2923855 (Tex. App.—San Antonio July 30, 2008, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication)
(dismissing as moot juvenile appeal from order modifying disposition when juvenile passed
eighteenth birthday during pendency of appeal). Appellate counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d at 86; Bruns 924 S.W.2d at 177 n. 1.
