TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT

TYLER, TEXAS

MICHAEL DWAYNE BUTLER, § APPEAL FROM THE THIRD APPELLANT

V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE § ANDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Michael Butler appeals his conviction for felony driving while intoxicated (DWI). Appellant’s counsel has filed a brief asserting compliance with Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967) and Gainous v. State , 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). We dismiss the appeal.

B ACKGROUND On March 6, 2005, Appellant was arrested for felony DWI. Appellant was charged by information after formally waiving indictment by a grand jury. In the information, the State alleged
that Appellant had two prior DWI convictions, one in 1999 and the other in 2002. Appellant and the State entered into a negotiated plea agreement. As part of the agreement, he waived his right to a jury trial, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to ten years of imprisonment, probated for a ten year community supervision period. In July 2006, the State filed a motion to revoke Appellant’s community supervision for several alleged violations. Instead of revoking his community supervision, in January 2007, the tr ial court modified the terms to require, in part, that Appellant attend more intensive and more frequent substance abuse treatment programs and serve sixty days in the county jail.2

After his release from the county jail, Appellant was arrested for his fou rth DWI in Montgomery County, Texas, on September 8, 2007. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced by the 221st District Court in Montgomery County to three years of imprisonment on October 26, 2007. He served approximately one year, was paroled, and then co mmitted theft. The State then filed its “First Amended Motion to Revoke Community Supervision” in 2009 and a second amended motion on March 30, 2010. In its second amended motion, the State asserted that Appellant committed fourteen different violations o f his community supervision conditions. Appellant pleaded “true” to all the allegations. At a hearing on August 16, 2010, based on Appellant’s plea of true, the trial court revoked Appellant’s community supervision and sentenced him to ten years of impri sonment after a punishment hearing. In both the Montgomery County judgment and the trial court’s judgment in the instant case, the trial courts ordered that Appellant’s sentence run “concurrently.” Even though neither judgment referred specifically to th e other, the trial court in the instant case ordered that Appellant receive full credit for the time he served in prison on the Montgomery County offense.

A NALYSIS P URSUANT TO A NDERS V
. C ALIFORNIA Appellant’s counsel has filed a brief in compliance with Anders and Gainous . Counsel states that he has diligently reviewed the appellate record and that he is well acquainted with the facts of this case. In compliance with Anders
, Gainous , and High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), counsel = s br ief presents a thorough chronological summary of the procedural history of the case and further states that counsel is unable to present any arguable issues for appeal. 1 See Anders , 386 U.S. at 745, 87 S. Ct. at 1400; see also Penson v. Ohio , 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S. Ct. 346, 350, 102 L. Ed. 2d 300 (1988). We have considered counsel’s brief and have conducted our own independent review of the
record. We found no reversible error. See Bledsoe v. State , 178 S.W.3d 824, 826

C ONCLUSION As required, Appellant’s counsel has moved for leave to withdraw. See In re Schulman , 252 S.W.3d 403, 407 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (orig. proceeding); Stafford v. State , 813 S.W.2d 503, 511

1 Counsel for Appellant certified that he provided Appellant with a copy of his brief and informed Appellant that he had the right to file his own brief. Appellant was given time to file his own brief, but the time for filing such a brief has expired and we have received no pro se brief.3

(Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We are in agreement with Appellant’s counsel that the appeal is wholly frivolous. Accordingly, his motion for leave to withdraw is hereby granted , and we dismiss this appeal. See In re Schulman , 252 S.W.3d a t 408

- 09 (“After the completion of these four steps, the court of appeals will either agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous, grant the attorney = s motion to withdraw, and dismiss the appeal, or it will determine that there may be plausible grounds for

a ppeal.”). Counsel has a duty to, within five days of the date of this opinion, send a copy of the opinion and judgment to Appellant and advise him of his right to file a petition for discretionary review. See
