AFFIRMED

           Following his adjudication of guilt and the revocation of his community supervision, the trial

court sentenced defendant Michael Christopher Terrell to eight years’ confinement and a $1,200 fine.

           Defendant’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief containing a professional

evaluation of the record and demonstrating there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. Counsel

concludes the appeal is without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California,

386 U.S. 738 (1967). Defendant was informed of his right to review the record. Counsel provided
                                                                                                           04-09-00353-CR

defendant with a copy of the brief and advised him of his right to file a pro se brief. Defendant filed

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.).
