From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court Nos. 1994CR6018W, 2000CR3097, 2000CR3098, 2000CR4419, 2000CR4420

AFFIRMED

Velen Trevino pled guilty in trial court case numbers 2000CR3097, 2000CR3098, 2000CR4419, and 2000CR4420, and she was sentenced in accordance with her plea bargain. Because the trial court honored Trevino's plea bargain agreements, it expressly denied her permission to appeal the judgments in these cases. In addition, Trevino pled true in trial court case number 1994CR6018W to violating a condition of her probation. The trial court revoked Trevino's community supervision and sentenced her to ten years imprisonment. The trial court granted Trevino permission to appeal the judgment in case number 1994CR6018W. Trevino filed a general notice of appeal in all five cases.

Trevino's court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), with respect to all five cases. The brief raises five arguable points of error, but nonetheless concludes that the appeals are frivolous and without merit. See id. Counsel states that appellant was provided with a copy of the brief and informed of her right to review the record and file her own brief. See Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1996, no pet.). Trevino's pro se brief was due May 25, 2001, but none was filed.

Because Trevino filed a general notice of appeal, and no jurisdictional issues are present, we dismiss the appeal in appellate cause numbers 04-00-00779-CR, 04-00-00780-CR, 04-00-00781-CR, and 04-00-00782-CR for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3).

However, because the trial court granted permission to appeal the judgment in case number 1994CR6018W, we have jurisdiction over appellate cause number 04-00-00778-CR. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. We agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Furthermore, we GRANT appellant's counsel's motion to withdraw. See Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177, n.1.
