Memorandum Opinion by Justice van Cleef

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On August 12, 2019, Jeffery Don Davidson pled guilty to possession of a controlled 

substance, methamphetamine, in an amount less than one gram,1and the trial court placed 

Davidson on deferred adjudication community supervision for three years and assessed court 

costs of $715.00, restitution of $180.00 payable to the Texas Department of Public Safety, and a

$1,000.00 fine. Davidson did not appeal that order. On May 9, 2022, the trial court adjudicated 

Davidson’s guilt, revoked his community supervision, sentenced him to twenty-four months’ 

confinement in state jail, and assessed him court costs of $76.99. 

Davidson’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. Counsel provided a 

professional evaluation of the record and demonstrated why there are no arguable grounds to be 

advanced, as required by law. See 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).

Davidson’s counsel filed a motion with this Court seeking to withdraw as counsel in this 

appeal and provided Davidson with copies of the brief and the motion to withdraw. On 

November 30, 2023, Davidson’s counsel also informed him of his rights to review the record and 

to file a pro se response and provided him with a paper copy of the appellate record. By letter 

1See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 481.115(b) (Supp.).

dated November 30, 2023, we notified Davidson that his pro se response was due on or before 

January 2, 2024. We also notified Davidson by letter dated January 11, 2024, that the case 

would be submitted on briefs on February 1, 2024. Davidson did not file a pro se response.

We have determined that this appeal is wholly frivolous. We have independently 

reviewed the entire appellate record and, like counsel, have determined that no arguable issue 

supports an appeal. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). In 

the Anders context, once we determine that the appeal is without merit, we must affirm the trial 

court’s judgment. See id.2

2Since we agree that this case presents no reversible error, we also, in accordance with Anders, grant counsel’s 

request to withdraw from further representation of appellant in this case. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744. No substitute 

counsel will be appointed. 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. Any petition for discretionary review (1) must be filed within thirty days from 

either the date of this opinion or the date on which the last timely motion for rehearing was overruled by this Court, 

see TEX. 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.
