THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE On Appeal from the 64th District Court Hale County, Texas Trial Court No. A19552-1310, Honorable Robert W. Kinkaid, Jr., Presiding June 30,2015 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before QUINN, CJ., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ. Appellant, Timothy Earl Mangram, entered a plea of guilty on February 12, 2014, to the offense of theft of property with a value of $1,500 or more but less than $20,000.1 Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial court found the evidence sufficient to find appellant guilty; however, the trial court deferred final adjudication and placed appellant on community supervision for a period of five years. Subsequently, on April 14, 2014, the State filed a motion to adjudicate appellant guilty. Trial on the State's motion 1See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 31.03(a), (e)(4)(A) (West Supp. 2014). occurred on November 7, 2014, and appellant entered a plea of true to one allegation contained in the State's motion to adjudicate. Ultimately, the trial court found all six allegations true and, after a separate punishment hearing, assessed appellant's punishment at confinement in a State Jail Facility for 20 months. Appellant appeals the trial court's judgment. We will affirm. Appellant's attorney has filed an Anders brief and a motion to withdraw. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 498 (1967). In support of his motion to withdraw, counsel certifies that he has diligently reviewed the record, and in his opinion, the record reflects no reversible error upon which an appeal can be predicated. Id. at 744-45. In compliance with High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 813 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), counsel has candidly discussed why, under the controlling authorities, there is no error in the trial court's judgment. By his Anders brief, counsel raises grounds that could possibly support an appeal, but concludes the appeal is frivolous. We have reviewed these grounds and made an independent review of the entire record to determine whether there are any arguable grounds which might support an appeal. See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S. Ct. 346, 102 L. Ed. 2d 300 (1988); Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We have found no such arguable grounds and agree with counsel that the appeal is frivolous.2 2 Counsel shall, within five days after this opinion is handed down, send his client a copy of the opinion and judgment, along with notification of appellant's right to file a pro se petition for discretionary review.
