TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-25-00389-CR

Juan Gamez, Jr., Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 9 OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. C-1-CR-24-207353, THE HONORABLE KIM WILLIAMS, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

A jury found appellant Juan Gamez, Jr. guilty of indecent exposure, a class B misdemeanor. See Tex. Penal Code § 21.08. The trial court sentenced appellant to one hundred days’ confinement in the Travis County Jail.

Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw supported by a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967); Garner v. State, 300 S.W.3d 763, 766 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009); see also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 81–82 (1988). Appellant’s counsel has certified to this Court that he sent copies of the motion and brief to appellant, advised appellant of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response, and provided a motion to assist appellant in obtaining the record.

See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); see also Anders, 386 U.S. at 744. To date, no pro se response has been filed.

We have conducted an independent review of the record, including the record of the proceedings below and appellate counsel’s brief, and find no reversible error. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Garner, 300 S.W.3d at 766; Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We agree with counsel that the record presents no arguably meritorious grounds for review, and the appeal is frivolous.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. The trial court’s judgment of conviction is affirmed.
