Appellee

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

Delivered and Filed: February 14, 2007

AFFIRMED

Jermaine King pled nolo contendere to the offense of manslaughter pursuant to a plea bargain agreement. (1) King's court-appointed attorney filed a brief containing a professional evaluation of the record in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Counsel concludes that the appeal has no merit. Counsel provided King with a copy of the brief and informed him of his right to review the record and file his own brief. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (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.). King did not file a pro se brief.

After reviewing the record and counsel's brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Appellate counsel's motion to withdraw is granted. Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d at 86; Bruns 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1.

1. Although the trial court sentenced King in accordance with the plea bargain, the trial court granted King permission to appeal a potential proportionality issue relating to his sentence.
