MEMORANDUM OPINION Nos. 04-07-00529-CR & 04-07-00530-CR Christopher Lee PONCE, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 381st Judicial District Court, Starr County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 04-CR-623 & 06-CR-461 Honorable J. Manuel Bañales, Judge Presiding Opinion by: Catherine Stone, Justice Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice Catherine Stone, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 10, 2008 AFFIRMED Christopher Ponce pled true to violating the conditions of his community supervision, and the trial court sentenced Ponce to 20 years confinement for the offense of robbery and life imprisonment for the offense of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. We affirm.

Ponce’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed briefs in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he concludes that the appeals have no merit. Counsel 04-07-00529-CR & 04-07-00530-CR provided Ponce with copies of the briefs and informed him of his right to review the records and file his own briefs. Ponce has not filed a pro se brief in any of his appeals.

We have reviewed the records and counsel’s briefs, and we agree that the appeals are frivolous and without merit. The judgments of the trial court are therefore affirmed. Furthermore, we grant counsel’s motions to withdraw. 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.).

Catherine Stone, Justice
