Hilbig, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 15, 2010 AFFIRMED This is an accelerated appeal of a trial court s order compelling psychoactive medications. Appellant s court-appointed attorney filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). See In re L.E.H., 228 S.W.3d 219, 220 (Tex. App. San Antonio 2007, no pet.) (applying Anders procedure in appeal from court-ordered mental health commitment). Counsel concludes the appeal has no merit. Counsel provided R.R. with a copy of the brief and informed him of his right to review the record and file his own brief; however, R.R. did not file a pro se 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.). 04-10-00337-CV After reviewing the record and counsel s brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The order of the trial court is affirmed, and 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. Catherine Stone, Chief Justice -2-
