Richard Chapa a/k/a Ricardo Rene Chapa v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 379th Judicial District Court of Bexar County

MEMORANDUM OPINION

No. 04-07-00515-CR

Richard CHAPA,

Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas,

Appellee

From the 379th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 1999-CR-5376W

Honorable Bert Richardson, Judge Presiding

Opinion by: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Sitting: Catherine Stone, Justice

Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Delivered and Filed: March 12, 2008

AFFIRMED

Defendant, Richard Chapa, pled no contest to the charge of theft. Defendant's sentence was suspended and he was placed on community supervision for four years. Later, the State moved to revoke defendant's community supervision. At a hearing on the motion to revoke, defendant pled "true" to violating a condition of his community supervision. On appeal, defendant'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. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Defendant was informed of his right to review the record. Counsel provided defendant with a copy of the brief and advised him of his right to file a pro se brief. Defendant has not filed a brief. After reviewing the record, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's judgment, and we GRANT appellate counsel's motion to withdraw. 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.).
