Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-12-00198-CR
David ARBUTHNOT,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2011CR6727
Honorable Mary D. Roman, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Delivered and Filed: December 5, 2012
AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED
This is an appeal from the trial court’s revocation of appellant’s community supervision,
following his plea of “true” to a violation of one of the conditions of his community supervision.
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.
04-12-00198-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. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.).
