Description: Odessa TX - Criminal Defense Attorney, Obstruction or Retaliation

Appellant’s court-appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw. The
motion is supported by a brief in which counsel professionally and conscientiously
examines the record and applicable law and states that he has concluded that the
appeal is frivolous and without merit. Counsel has provided Appellant with a copy
2
of the brief, a copy of the motion to withdraw, an explanatory letter, and a copy of
both the reporter’s record and the clerk’s record. Counsel advised Appellant of his
right to review the record and file a response to counsel’s brief. Counsel also advised
Appellant of his right to file a pro se petition for discretionary review in order to
seek review by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See TEX.R. APP. P. 68. Courtappointed counsel has complied with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967); Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); In re
Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008); and Stafford v. State, 813
S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).
Appellant has filed a pro se response to counsel’s Anders brief. In his pro se
response, Appellant states, “So for the record, No. I do not wish to persue [sic] this
matter any further” and “No. You may file this away. No further action requested
on my part.”
Following the procedures outlined in Anders and Schulman, we have
independently reviewed the record, and we agree with counsel that no arguable
grounds for appeal exist.1

Outcome: Accordingly, we grant Appellant’s counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm
the judgment of the trial court.
