PAUL LEWIS WARREN, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 380th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 380-81292-2013

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Stoddart Opinion by Justice Evans

Paul Lewis Warren appeals from the revocation of his community supervision for felony

driving while intoxicated . See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 49.04(a), 49.09(b)(2) (West Supp.

2014). The trial court assessed punishment at two years’ imprisonment and a $1,000 fine. On

appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and

without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no

arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–12 (Tex. Crim. App.

[Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response. See Kelly v. State, 436

S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in

Anders cases).

We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824,

826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We agree

the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably

support the appeal.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
