. A NDERS B RIEF Pursuant to Anders v. California , Osborn’s court

- appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief and a motion to withdraw with this Court, stating that his review of the record yielded no grounds of reversible error upon which an appeal can be predicated. See id

. Counsel’s brief meets the requirements of Anders as it presents a professional evaluation demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to advance on appeal. See In re Schulman , 252 S.W.3d 403, 407 n.9 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (“In Texas, an Anders brief need not specifically advance ‘arguable’ points of error if counsel finds none, but it must provide record references to the facts and procedural history and set out pertinent legal authorities.”) (citing Hawkins v. State , 112 S.W.3d 340, 343

– 44 (Tex. App.

— Corpus Christi

– Edinburg 2003, no pet.)); Stafford v. State , 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 n.3 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). In compliance with High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807, 813 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978) and Kelly v. State , 436 S.W.3d 313, 319

– 22 (Tex. Crim. App . 2014), Osborn ’s counsel carefully discussed why, under controlling authority, there is no reversible error in the trial court’s judgment. Osborn ’s counsel has also informed this Court that Osborn has been (1) notified that counsel has filed an Anders bri ef and a motion to withdraw; (2) provided with copies of both pleadings; (3) informed of his rights to file a pro se response,

causes not before this Court and not at issue in this appeal.

review the record preparatory to filing that response, and seek discretionary review if we conclude that the appeal is frivolous; and (4) provided with a form motion for pro se access to the appellate record with instructions to file the motion within ten days. See Anders , 386 U.S. at 744; Kelly

, 436 S.W.3d at 319

– 20, Stafford , 813 S.W.2d at 510 n.3; see also In re Schulman , 252 S.W .3d at 409 n.23. More than an adequate period of time has passed, and Osborn has not filed a pro se response. 3
II

. I NDEPENDENT R EVIEW Upon receiving an Anders brief, we must conduct a full examination of all the proceedings to determine whether the case is wholly frivolous. Penson v. Ohio , 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988). We have reviewed the entire record and counsel’s brief, and we have found nothing that would arguab ly support an appeal. See id

Anders briefs, by indicating in the opinion that it considered the issues raised in the briefs and reviewed the record for reversible error but found none, the court of appeals met the requirem ent of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 47.1.”); Stafford , 813 S.W.2d at 509.

. M OTION TO W ITHDRAW In accordance with Anders , Osborn ’s attorney has asked this Court for permission
to withdraw as counsel. See Anders , 386 U.S. at 744; see also In re Schu lman , 252 S.W.3d at 408 n.17 (citing Jeffery v. State , 903 S.W.2d 776, 779

3 The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has held that “the pro se response need not comply with the rules of appellate procedure in order to be considered. Rather, the response should identify for the court those issues which the indigent appellant believes the court should consider in deciding whether the c ase presents any meritorious issues.” In re Schulman , 252 S.W.3d 403, 409 n.23 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (quoting Wilson v. State , 955 S.W.2d 693, 696

To withdraw from representation, the appoi nted attorney must file a motion to withdraw accompanied by a brief showing the appellate court that the appeal is frivolous.”) (citations omitted)). We grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
