The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas Trial Court No. 07-1243-CR Honorable Dwight E. Peschel, Judge Presiding Opinion by: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: April 14, 2010 AFFIRMED After admitting that he violated several conditions of his community supervision, Jerry Lee Lovelady s guilt was adjudicated on four counts of indecency with a child, and he was sentenced to two consecutive terms of twenty years confinement. Lovelady 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 Lovelady with 04-09-00366-CR 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.). Lovelady 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. No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should Lovelady wish to seek further review of this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Lovelady must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review or Lovelady must file a pro se petition for discretionary review. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed within thirty days from the date of either this opinion or the last timely motion for rehearing that is overruled by this court. See TEX . R. APP . P. 68.2. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed with this court, after which it will be forwarded to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See TEX . R. APP . P. 68.3, 68.7. Any petition for discretionary review should comply with the requirements of Rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX . R. APP . P. 68.4 Catherine Stone, Chief Justice DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
