Noel Torres v. State
Noel Torres v. State
Opinion
Appellant Noel Torres was placed on community supervision after being convicted on his plea of guilty to felony driving while intoxicated. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. §§ 49.04(a), .09(b)(2) (West 2003). His supervision was revoked and sentence of six years' imprisonment and a $500 fine was imposed after he pleaded true to several of the allegations in the State's motion to revoke.
Torres's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to Torres, and he was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.
We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.
The order revoking community supervision is affirmed.
