                                       The STATE of Texas,
                                             Appellee

                     From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                   Trial Court No. 2013CR0452

Delivered and Filed: March 28, 2018

AFFIRMED

           In January 2013, appellant was indicted with aggravated robbery. Pursuant to a plea-

bargain agreement, on November 18, 2013, appellant was placed on deferred adjudication

community supervision for a period of ten years. On February 24, 2017, the trial court held a

hearing on the State’s motion to revoke appellant’s community supervision and adjudicate his

guilt. At the hearing, appellant pled true to having violated a condition of his probation. That same

day, the trial court revoked appellant’s community supervision, adjudicated his guilt, and

sentenced him to twelve years of imprisonment. Appellant timely filed a notice of appeal.
                                                                                                         04-17-00154-CR


         Appellant’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief in which he raises two arguable

points of error, but nonetheless concludes that this appeal is frivolous and without merit. See

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

Counsel states that appellant was provided with a copy of the brief and motion to withdraw, and

was further informed of his right to review the record and file his own brief. See Bruns v. State,

924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.). Counsel further states that he

mailed appellant a copy of the appellate record. Appellant did not file a pro se brief.

         We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. We agree that the appeal is frivolous and

without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Furthermore, we grant the motion to

withdraw. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.);

Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1. 1
