Mike DAVIS, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2011CR0287
Honorable Mary D. Román, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice AFFIRMED
Mike Davis pled not true to violating the conditions of his deferred adjudication community supervision; however, the trial court found the violations to be true, adjudicated Davis's guilt, and sentenced him twenty years' imprisonment. Davis's court-appointed attorney filed a brief containing a professional evaluation of the record in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Counsel concludes that the appeal has no merit. Counsel provided Davis with a copy of the brief and informed him of his right to review the record and file his own brief. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (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 pro se brief was filed.
In his Anders brief, counsel does contend that the trial court's judgment should be modified because in the section of the judgment in which court costs are assessed, the judgment states, "PLUS ATTY FEES." Because appellant is indigent, counsel asserts that the assessment of attorney's fees against Davis is erroneous. After counsel filed the Anders brief, however, a supplemental clerk's record was filed containing the bill of costs which states, "APPOINTED ATTY" and includes 0.00 for attorney's fees. Therefore, the record reflects that no attorney's fees were assessed against Davis.
After reviewing the record and counsel's brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Appellate counsel's request to withdraw is granted. Nichols, 954 S.W.2d at 86; Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1. No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should Davis wish to seek further review of this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Davis must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review or Davis must file a pro se petition for discretionary review. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed within thirty days from the later of: (1) the date of this opinion; or (2) the date the last timely motion for rehearing is overruled by this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.3. Any petition for discretionary review should comply with the requirements of Rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.4.
