Charles Daren Miears v. State
Opinion
MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-10-00699-CR Charles Daren MIEARS, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 216th Judicial District Court, Kerr County, Texas Trial Court No. A0690 Honorable N. Keith Williams, Judge Presiding Opinion by: Steven C. Hilbig, Justice Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 7, 2011 MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED; AFFIRMED Charles Daren Miears pled guilty to delivery of more than one but less than four grams of methamphetamine in a drug free zone and pled true to being a habitual offender in exchange for the State’s recommendation that adjudication be deferred. Pursuant to the plea agreement, the trial court deferred adjudication and placed Miears on community supervision for a period of ten years. The State later filed a motion to adjudicate guilt, alleging Miears violated various 04-10-00699-CR
conditions of his community supervision. Miears pled true to the allegations. The trial court adjudicated Miears guilty and sentenced him to forty years in prison.
Miears’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a motion to withdraw and a brief in which he raises no arguable points of error and concludes this appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). Miears was provided a copy of the brief and motion to withdraw and was informed of his right to review the record and file his own brief. He has not done so. After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we find no reversible error and agree with counsel the appeal is wholly frivolous. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We therefore grant the motion to withdraw and affirm the trial court’s judgment. See id.; 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.).
No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should Miears wish to seek further review of this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, he must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review or file a pro se petition for discretionary review. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed within thirty days after either this opinion is rendered or the last timely motion for rehearing or motion for en banc reconsideration is overruled by this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed with the clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals. See id. R. 68.3. Any petition for discretionary review must comply with the requirements of rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See id. R. 68.4.
