Angela Urrabazo, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Angela Urrabazo pled true to violating the conditions of her deferred adjudication community supervision and was sentenced to one year in state jail. Urrabazo's court-appointed attorney filed a brief containing a professional evaluation of the record in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Counsel concludes that the appeal has no merit. Counsel provided Urrabazo with a copy of the brief and informed her of her right to review the record and file her own brief. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85–86 (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.). Although a copy of the record was provided to Urrabazo, no pro se brief was filed.
After reviewing the record and counsel's brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Appellate counsel's request to withdraw is granted. Nichols, 954 S.W.2d at 86; Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1. No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should Urrabazo wish to seek further review of this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Urrabazo must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review or Urrabazo must file a pro se petition for discretionary review. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed within thirty days from the later of: (1) the date of this opinion; or (2) the date the last timely motion for rehearing is overruled by this court. See Tex.R.App. P. 68.2. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See Tex.R.App. P. 68.3. Any petition for discretionary review should comply with the requirements of Rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tex.R.App. P. 68.4.
