MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-10-00068-CR

Corey J. DUKES, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2006-CR-4699 Honorable Mary D. Román, Judge Presiding

Opinion by: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice

Delivered and Filed: September 15, 2010

AFFIRMED

Appellant, Cory J. Dukes, pled no contest to the charge of possession of a controlled

substance. Appellant’s sentence was suspended and he was placed on community supervision

for two years. Later, the State moved to revoke appellant’s community supervision. At a

hearing on the motion to revoke, appellant pled “true” to violating a condition of his community

supervision. On appeal, appellant’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief containing a

professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating there are no arguable grounds to be 04-10-00068-CR

advanced. Counsel concludes the appeal is without merit. The brief meets the requirements of

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

record. Counsel provided appellant with a copy of the brief and advised him of his right to file a

pro se brief. Appellant 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.).
