V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 124th District Court
Gregg County, Texas
Trial Court No. 56621-B
Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Rambin
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Rondrael Lamar Rossum was charged with assault family violence by impeding
breath/blood with a previous conviction, a second-degree felony. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN.
§ 22.01(b-3).1 Rossum pled guilty and was placed on deferred adjudication community
supervision for a period of ten years. The State subsequently moved to adjudicate his guilt,
alleging that Rossum violated nine of his conditions of probation. At the hearing on revocation,
Rossum signed a stipulation of evidence and pled true to the State’s violation allegations. The
trial court found the allegations to be true, adjudicated Rossum’s guilt, and sentenced him to
twenty-five years’ imprisonment. Rossum appeals.
Via a single consolidated brief, Rossum’s appellate counsel states that she reviewed the
record and found no genuinely arguable issues that could be raised on appeal. See Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738, 743–44 (1967); In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 406 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2008) (orig. proceeding); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 509–10 (Tex. Crim. App.
1991); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812–13 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978).
As addressed in our opinion in Rossum’s companion appellate cause number 06-26-
00081-CR, we have determined that this appeal is wholly frivolous. We have independently
reviewed the entire appellate record and, like appellate counsel, have determined that no
arguable issue supports an appeal. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2005). In the Anders context, once we determine that the appeal is without merit, we must

controlled substance in penalty group one in an amount of four grams or more but less than two-hundred grams, a

Since we agree that this case presents no reversible error, we also, in accordance with Anders, grant appellate
counsel’s request to withdraw from further representation of appellant in this case. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.
No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should appellant desire to seek further review of this case by the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals, the appellant must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review or
file a pro se petition for discretionary review. Any petition for discretionary review (1) must be filed within thirty
days from either the date of this opinion or the date on which the last timely motion for rehearing was overruled by
this Court, see TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2, (2) must be filed with the clerk of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, see TEX.
R. APP. P. 68.3, and (3) should comply with the requirements of Rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure, see TEX. R. APP. P. 68.4.
