MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-08-00250-CR
Linzy Eugene THOMAS,
Appellant
v.
The State of TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2006-CR-7700W
Honorable Mary Roman, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Karen Angelini, Justice
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Delivered and Filed: October 1, 2008
AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED
Appellant Linzy Eugene Thomas was charged by information with the felony offense of
possession of a controlled substance. Pursuant to a plea agreement, Thomas entered a plea of nolo
contendere to the offense charged in the information. The trial court followed the plea agreement
and assessed punishment at two years confinement; however, the court suspended the execution of
the sentence and placed Thomas on community supervision for a period of two years. The State
subsequently filed a motion to revoke Thomas’s community supervision. After Thomas pled true
04-08-00250-CR
to violating a condition of his community supervision, the trial court revoked Thomas’s community
supervision and assessed punishment at two years confinement. The trial court certified Thomas’s
right to appeal, and a timely notice of appeal was filed.
Thomas’s court-appointed appellate attorney has filed a brief in which he concludes that this
appeal is frivolous and without merit. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State,
573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). Counsel states that Thomas was provided with a copy of
the brief and motion to withdraw and was further informed of his right to review the record and file
his own brief. See Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 178 n. 1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no
writ). Thomas did not file a pro se brief.
We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. We agree that the appeal is frivolous and
without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Furthermore, we grant the motion to
withdraw. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no writ);
Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 178 n. 1. No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should Thomas wish to
seek further review of this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Thomas 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 date of this
opinion or the date the last timely motion for rehearing is overruled by this court. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 68.2. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed with this court, after which it will be
forwarded to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.3, 68.7. Any petition for
discretionary review should comply with the requirements of Rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.4.
Karen Angelini, Justice
