Delivered and Filed: December 10, 2014

AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED

           Appellant pled no contest, pursuant to a plea agreement, to possession of a prohibited item

while in a correctional facility, and he was placed on community supervision. The State later filed

a motion to revoke, which the trial court granted. Punishment was assessed at five years’

confinement. This appeal ensued.

           Appellant’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief containing a professional

evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.

Counsel concludes that the appeal is without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v.
                                                                                                       04-14-00132-CR

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Appellant was informed of his right to review the record and of

his right to file a pro se brief. Appellant did not file a pro se brief.

         After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without

merit. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s judgment, and we GRANT appellate counsel’s

motion to withdraw. 1 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.).
