Opinion
Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-12-00694-CR Waymon EZELL, Appellant v. The STATE of The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2010CR10974 Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding Opinion by: Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Delivered and Filed: June 5, 2013 MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED; AFFIRMED Pursuant to a plea agreement with the State, Waymon Ezell pleaded no contest to possession of less than 1 gram of cocaine and true to enhancement allegations. The trial court accepted the plea, found Ezell guilty, and honored the plea bargain by placing Ezell on community supervision for a period of six years. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke, alleging Ezell had violated various terms of his supervision. Ezell pleaded true to one of the allegations. The trial court revoked Ezell’s community supervision and sentenced him to two years’ incarceration and a fine of $1,500. Ezell timely filed a pro se notice of appeal.
04-12-00694-CR
Ezell’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a motion to withdraw and a brief in which he 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). Counsel states Ezell was provided 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. Ezell 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 counsel’s 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 Ezell 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.
