Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-18-00308-CR Quinton COX, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 218th Judicial District Court, Karnes County, Texas Trial Court No. 16-10-00139-CRK Honorable H. Paul Canales, Judge Presiding Opinion by: Beth Watkins, Justice Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Beth Watkins, Justice Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice Delivered and Filed: July 17, 2019 MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED; AFFIRMED A jury convicted Quinton Cox of aggravated assault against a public servant and sentenced him to life imprisonment. Cox appealed. Cox’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 the appeal has no merit. Counsel provided Cox 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. 04-18-00308-CR App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.). Cox did not file a pro se brief. After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Appellate counsel’s request to withdraw is granted. Nichols, 954 S.W.2d at 86; Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1. No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should Cox wish to seek further review of this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Cox must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review or Cox must file a pro se petition for discretionary review. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed within thirty days from the later of: (1) the date of this opinion; or (2) the date the last timely motion for rehearing is overruled by this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See id. R. 68.3. Any petition for discretionary review should comply with the requirements of Rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See id. R. 68.4. Beth Watkins, Justice DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
