No. 04-13-00340-CV

IN THE MATTER OF K.F., a Juvenile

From the 289th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2012-JUV-01564

Honorable Carmen Kelsey, Judge Presiding

Opinion by: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

Sitting: Marialyn Barnard, Justice

Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice

Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

Delivered and Filed: June 18, 2014

AFFIRMED

Appellant K.F. was charged with delinquent conduct for committing aggravated sexual 

assault of a child on or about January 3, 2012. K.F. entered a plea of true to the allegation pursuant 

to a plea agreement with the State. Under such agreement, (1) K.F. entered a plea of true to count 

I of the State’s First Amended Petition Alleging Delinquent Conduct, (2) the State abandoned the 

remaining counts in the petition and recommended probation, and (3) K.F. waived appeal. On 

May 20, 2013, the trial court found the allegations true and further found there was a need for 

disposition. Pursuant to the plea agreement, the trial court placed K.F. on probation and ordered 

him in the care, custody, and control of the Chief Juvenile Probation Officer of Bexar County, 

Texas until September 29, 2016, K.F.’s eighteenth birthday. The trial court signed the orders of 

adjudication and disposition on June 11, 2013. This appeal ensued.
04-13-00340-CV

K.F.’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a motion to withdraw and a brief in which 

he asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 44.2. The brief meets 

the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 

(Tex. Crim. App. 1978), and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969); see In re 

D.A.S., 973 S.W.2d 296, 297 (Tex. 1998) (orig. proceeding) (Anders procedures apply to appeals 

from juvenile delinquency adjudications); In re A.L.H., 974 S.W.2d 359, 360 (Tex. App.—San 

Antonio 1998, no pet.) (same). Counsel provided the juvenile and his mother copies of the brief 

and motion to withdraw; they were informed of the juvenile’s right to file his own brief. See In re 

A.L.H., 974 S.W.2d at 360–61. No pro se brief has been filed.

After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we find no reversible error and agree with 

counsel that the appeal is wholly frivolous. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. 

Crim. App. 2005). We, therefore, grant the motion to withdraw filed by K.F.’s counsel and affirm 

the trial court’s orders. See id.; Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 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.).1

Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

1 No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should K.F. wish to seek further review of this case by the Texas Supreme 

Court, he must either retain an attorney to file a petition for review or file a pro se petition for review. Any petition 

for review must be filed within forty-five days after either this opinion is rendered or the last timely motion for 

rehearing or motion for en banc reconsideration is overruled by this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 53.7(a). Any petition 

for review must comply with the requirements of rule 53.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See id. R. 53.2.
