Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 396th District Court, Tarrant County, Texas
Trial Court No. 1134868D
The Honorable George William Gallagher, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Delivered and Filed: February 20, 2013
AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED
Pursuant to a plea bargain, appellant pled guilty to aggravated robbery with a deadly
weapon, to-wit: an automobile, and he was placed on deferred adjudication community
supervision. At a subsequent hearing on the State’s motion to proceed to adjudication, appellant
pled “true” to five violations of the terms and conditions of his community supervision. Based
on his pleas of “true,” the trial court adjudicated appellant guilty and assessed punishment at six
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. 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
