George Galvan v. State

Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-13-00851-CR

George GALVAN, Appellant

v. The State of The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012CR9427 Honorable Maria Teresa Herr, Judge Presiding

Opinion by: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 9, 2014

AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED

After the trial court denied his motion to suppress, appellant pled no contest, pursuant to a

plea bargain, to aggravated robbery and was sentenced in accordance with the plea bargain.

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 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 and of his right to file a pro

se brief. Appellant did not file a pro se brief. 04-13-00851-CR

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.).
