Appeal from the Criminal District Court, Jefferson County, Texas, Trial Court # 84152. Judgment affirmed.

Before Chief Justice GRAY, Justice VANCE, and Justice REYNA.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Roderick Lanier Tillman was convicted of aggravated robbery. He pled guilty under a plea agreement and was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision. Shortly thereafter, he pled true to alleged violations of the conditions of supervision and the court revoked supervision and assessed twenty years in prison.

ANDERS BRIEF

Tillman's counsel on appeal filed an Anders brief. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 1400, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). We now decide "whether the case is . . . frivolous" as claimed by counsel. See Taulung v. State, 979 S.W.2d 854, 855 (Tex. App.-Waco 1998, no pet.). In the brief, counsel considers issues relevant to an appeal of a proceeding where the defendant pled guilty, was placed on community supervision, pled true on a motion to revoke, and was sentenced accordingly. Counsel's brief also contains references to the record, applicable statutes, rules, and cases, and discusses why counsel concludes that the appeal is frivolous. See Sowels v. State, 45 S.W.3d 690, 691 (Tex. App.-Waco 2001, no pet.). Counsel provided Tillman a copy of the brief and advised him of his right to file a pro se brief or other response. See id. Tillman has not filed a response. We have independently reviewed the record and agree that there are no issues "which might arguably support an appeal." Id. at 692. Because we are affirming the judgment and sentence, counsel must advise Tillman of the result of this appeal and of his right to file a petition for discretionary review. Id. at 694; see also Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25, 27 (Tex.Crim.App. 1997).

CONCLUSION

We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
