Travis Jernigan v. the State of Texas
Opinion
In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-21-00043-CR
TRAVIS JERNIGAN, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 76th District Court Morris County, Texas Trial Court No. 11,694CR
Before Morriss, C.J., Stevens and Carter,* JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
____________________ *Jack Carter, Justice, Retired, Sitting by Assignment MEMORANDUM OPINION Pursuant to a plea agreement, Travis Jernigan pled guilty to stalking; he was found guilty and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment and assessed a fine, restitution, and court costs; his sentence was suspended; and he was placed on ten years’ community supervision. About two years later, the State filed a motion to revoke his community supervision, which was dismissed after Jernigan came back into compliance with the conditions of his community supervision.
Subsequently, the State filed a second motion to revoke his community supervision. Jernigan pled not true to the State’s allegations, and after evidence was admitted in support of the allegations, the trial court found the allegations true, sentenced Jernigan to ten years’ imprisonment, and assessed him the original fine and court costs. Jernigan appeals the judgment revoking his community supervision.
Jernigan’s appellate counsel filed a brief that outlined the procedural history of the case, provided a detailed summary of the evidence elicited during the trial court proceedings, and stated that counsel found no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. Meeting the requirements of Anders v. California, counsel has provided a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 743–44 (1967); In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 406 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (orig. proceeding); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 509–10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812–13 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978).
Jernigan’s counsel filed a motion with this Court seeking to withdraw as counsel in this appeal and provided Jernigan with a copy of the brief and the motion to withdraw. His counsel also informed Jernigan of his rights to review the record and to file a pro se response and provided Jernigan with a pro se motion for access to the appellate record. By letter dated January 4, 2022, we notified Jernigan that his pro se response was due on February 3, 2022. By letter dated February 18, 2022, we notified Jernigan that the case would be submitted on briefs on March 11, 2022. We did not received a pro se response from Jernigan.
We have reviewed the entire appellate record and have independently determined that no reversible error exists. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
We affirm the judgment of the trial court.1

Should appellant desire to seek further review of this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, appellant must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review or file a pro se petition for discretionary review.

R. APP. P. 68.2, (2) must be filed with the clerk of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, see TEX. R. APP. P. 68.3, and (3) should comply with the requirements of Rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, see TEX. R. APP. P. 68.4.
