CHAD RUSSELL GEORGE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 6th District Court Red River County, Texas Trial Court No. CR03480

Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Stevens MEMORANDUM OPINION

Chad Russell George was placed on community supervision pursuant to a plea agreement

in three separate cause numbers—one charge of injury to a child, for which he was sentenced to

ten years’ imprisonment, and two separate charges of endangering a child, for which he was

sentenced to two years’ imprisonment on each charge.1 The trial court suspended George’s

sentences and placed him on community supervision for a period of ten years for the first charge

and a period of five years for the two separate charges. The State subsequently moved to revoke

George’s community supervision and sought adjudication, alleging, as to his charge of

endangering a child, that George failed to pay required fees and fines, and failed to report for the

months of January, February, and March of 2025. George pled true to the first allegation and

partially true to the second. After a hearing on the State’s motion to revoke, the trial court found

allegation two to be true as to George’s failure to report in February and March, revoked

George’s community supervision, adjudicated his guilt, and sentenced him to two years

imprisonment for endangering a child. George appeals.

George’s attorney has filed a brief stating that he reviewed the record and found no

genuinely 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

proceedings. Since counsel has provided a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating

why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced, that evaluation meets the requirements of

1 This appellate cause number addresses a charge of endangering a child, trial court cause number CR03480. In companion cause number 06-25-00128-CR, George appeals his conviction for injury to a child in trial court cause number CR03479. In companion cause number 06-25-00130-CR, George appeals his conviction for endangering a child in trial court cause number CR03481. 2 Anders v. California. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 743–44 (1967); In re Schulman, 252

S.W.3d 403, 406 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (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 December 2, 2025, counsel mailed to George copies of the brief, the motion to

withdraw, and a printed copy of the record. George was informed of his rights to review the

record and file a pro se response. On December 3, 2025, this Court informed George that his

pro se brief, if any were to be filed, was due on or before January 2, 2026. On January 13, 2026,

we notified George that this cause was set for submission on the briefs on February 3, 2026. On

January 20, 2026, George filed a motion requesting additional time to file his pro se response,

which was granted, giving him until February 19, 2026, to file a pro se response. George’s

response was received on February 17, 2026, and the case was re-set for submission on the briefs

on March 10, 2026.

We have reviewed the entire appellate record and George’s pro se response and have

independently determined that no reversible error exists. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824,

826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

3 We affirm the trial court’s judgment.2
