ROBERT CHRISTOPHER                                                       APPELLANT
WILLIAMS

                                          V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS                                                             STATE


                                      ------------

      FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 1 OF TARRANT COUNTY

                                      ------------

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION1
                                       ----------

      Appellant Robert Christopher Williams pled guilty pursuant to a plea

bargain to felony driving while intoxicated, and the trial court sentenced him to

ten years’ confinement, probated for ten years. Almost three years later, the

State filed a petition for revocation, alleging several violations of the conditions of

community supervision. Appellant pled true to allegations that he failed to report

in the months of June, October, and December 2009 and February, May, June,

      1

and July 2010; failed to pay community supervision fees in the months of May,

June, July, August, September, November, and December 2009 and January,

February, March, April, May, June, and July 2010; and failed to submit urine

samples on July 10, 2009, and during the weeks of March 18, March 25, April 22,

April 29, September 2, September 9, September 16, September 23, and

September 30 of 2009.       After a hearing, the trial court revoked Appellant’s

community supervision and sentenced him to eight years’ confinement.

      Appellant’s court-appointed appellate counsel has filed a motion to

withdraw as counsel and a brief in support of that motion. In the brief, counsel

avers that, in his professional opinion, this appeal is frivolous. Counsel’s brief

and motion meet the requirements of Anders v. California2 by presenting a

professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable

grounds for relief.3 This court afforded Appellant the opportunity to file a pro se

response to the Anders brief, and he did so. The State also filed a letter brief in

response to Appellant’s pro se allegations.

      Once an appellant’s court-appointed counsel files a motion to withdraw on

the ground that the appeal is frivolous and fulfills the requirements of Anders, we

are obligated to undertake an independent examination of the record to see if

there is any arguable ground that may be raised on his behalf.4 Only then may

we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.5

      We have carefully reviewed the record, counsel’s brief, Appellant’s pro se

response, and the State’s letter brief. We agree with counsel that the appeal is

wholly frivolous and without merit.      We find nothing in the record that might

arguably support the appeal.6 Consequently, we grant the motion to withdraw

and affirm the trial court’s judgment.
