                                   TYLER, TEXAS

MICHAEL VERNON STEWART,                         §           APPEAL FROM THE 2ND
APPELLANT

V.                                              §           JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
APPELLEE                                        §           CHEROKEE COUNTY, TEXAS


                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                     PER CURIAM
       Michael Vernon Stewart appeals his conviction for assault on a public servant following
the revocation of his deferred adjudication community supervision, for which he was sentenced to
imprisonment for ten years. Appellant’s counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967) and Gainous v. State, 436
S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). We dismiss the appeal.


                                         BACKGROUND
       Appellant was charged by indictment with assault against a public servant and pleaded
“guilty.”   The trial court deferred adjudicating Appellant “guilty” and sentenced him to
community supervision for ten years. Subsequently, the State filed a motion to proceed to final
adjudication alleging that Appellant had violated certain terms and conditions of his community
supervision. Specifically, the State alleged that Appellant had, among other violations, (1)
committed a new offense of aggravated assault and (2) committed a new offense of assault family
violence. Thereafter, the trial court conducted a hearing on the State’s motion. Following the
hearing, the trial court found that Appellant had violated the aforementioned terms and conditions
of his community supervision as alleged in the State’s motion. Following a trial on punishment,
the trial court revoked Appellant’s community supervision, adjudicated him “guilty” of assault on
a public servant, and sentenced him to imprisonment for ten years. This appeal followed.


                            ANALYSIS PURSUANT TO ANDERS V. CALIFORNIA
         Appellant=s counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California and Gainous v.
State. Appellant=s counsel states that he has diligently reviewed the appellate record and is of the
opinion that the record reflects no reversible error and that there is no error upon which an appeal
can be predicated. He further relates that he is well acquainted with the facts in this case. In
compliance with Anders, Gainous, and High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel
Op.] 1978), Appellant=s brief presents a chronological summation of the procedural history of the
case and further states that Appellant=s counsel is unable to raise any arguable issues for appeal.1
We have likewise reviewed the record for reversible error and have found none.


                                                  CONCLUSION
         As required by Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991), Appellant=s
counsel has moved for leave to withdraw. See also In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 407 (Tex.
Crim. App. 2008) (orig. proceeding). We carried the motion for consideration with the merits.
Having done so and finding no reversible error, Appellant=s counsel=s motion for leave to withdraw
is hereby granted and the appeal is dismissed.
         As a result of our disposition of this case, Appellant’s counsel has a duty to, within five
days of the date of this opinion, send a copy of the opinion and judgment to Appellant and advise
him of his right to file a petition for discretionary review. See TEX. R. APP. P. 48.4; In re
Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 411 n.35. Should Appellant wish to seek review of this case by the
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, he must either retain an attorney to file a petition for
discretionary review on his behalf or he must file a petition for discretionary review pro se. Any
petition for discretionary review must be filed within thirty days from the date of either this
opinion or the last timely motion for rehearing that was overruled by this court. See TEX. R. APP.

         1
          Counsel for Appellant states in his motion to withdraw that he provided Appellant with a copy of this brief.
Appellant was given time to file his own brief in this cause. The time for filing such a brief has expired and we have
received no pro se brief.

requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 68.4. See In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at
408 n.22.
