V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS , Appellee

On Appeal from the 276th District Court Marion County, Texas Trial Court No. F14958

Before Morriss, C.J., Stevens and van Cleef , JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Stevens2 

### ME MORANDUM OPINION

In June 2021, Erik Manuel Perez , pursuant to a plea agreement, pled guilty to family
violence assault 1 and was placed on deferred a djudication comm un ity supervision for four years.
In October 2021 , the State moved to revoke Perez ’s community supervision and to proceed to an adjudica tion of his guilt, alleging two distinct violations of Perez ’s community supervision.
Pere z pled true to both of the all e gations , and after an evidentiary hearing, the trial court granted
the State’s motion. Perez was sentenced to te n years’ incarceration. Perez appeals.
Perez ’ s attorney has filed a brief that sta tes that he has reviewe d the record and has f ound no genui n e ly arguable issues that could be raised on appeal

. The brief sets out the procedural history of the case and summarizes the evidence elicited during the course of the trial court proceeding s
. Meeting the requirements of Anders v. Californi a , counsel ha s provided a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be
advanced. Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738, 743

– 44 (1967); In re Schulman , 252 S.W.3d 403, 406 (Tex. Crim. App. 2 008) (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). Counsel also filed a motion with this Court seeking to withdraw as counsel in this appeal.
On April 19, 2022 , counsel maile d to Perez cop ies of the brief and the motion to

w ithdraw. Perez was informed of his right s to review the record and file a pro se response

. On May 23, 2022 , this Court mailed Perez copies of the clerk’s and reporter’s r ecords and notified
Pe rez that any p r o se response was due on or before July 5, 2022

. Perez filed his pro se response

1 See T EX

. P ENAL C ODE A NN

. § 22.01(b)(2)(A) (Supp.).3

on August 8, 2022. On September 13, 2022 , this Court further informed Perez that the case
would be set for submission on the briefs on O ctober 4 , 2022

. W e have determi n e d that this appeal is wholly frivolous. We have independently reviewed the entire appellate record and Perez ’ s pro se response and , like counsel, have determined that no arguable issue supports an appeal. See Bledsoe v. State , 178 S.W.3d 824 , 8 26

– 27 (T e x. Crim. App. 2005). In the Anders context, once we determine that the appeal is without merit, we must affirm the trial court’s judgment. Id. We affirm the judgment of the trial court. 2
