Opinion by: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 15, 2026
AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Lee Alan Walker pleaded guilty to the
offense of evading arrest with a previous conviction. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 38.04(b)(1).
On February 14, 2024, the trial court deferred the adjudication of guilt, placed appellant on
community supervision for a period of ten years, and assessed a $5,000.00 fine. On February 3,
2025, the State filed a Motion to Proceed. On May 14, 2025, the trial court revoked appellant’s
04-25-00545-CR
community supervision and entered an adjudication of guilt. The trial court assessed punishment
at ten years’ imprisonment with a $5,000.00 fine. Appellant now appeals.
Appellant’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), and requested permission
to withdraw. Counsel concludes that this appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Counsel
provided appellant with a copy of the brief and informed appellant of his right to review the record
and to file his own brief. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); see
also Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85–86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.) (per curiam);
Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.). This court
notified appellant of the deadline to file a pro se brief. Appellant did not file a pro se brief.
After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we conclude there is no reversible error and
agree with counsel that the appeal is wholly frivolous. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–
27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed, and appellate
counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. 1 See Nichols, 954 S.W.2d at 86 (explaining that after the
procedural requirements of Anders are satisfied and the court has independently reviewed the
record, the court will grant the motion to withdraw and either dispose of the appeal if found
frivolous or abate and remand the appeal if found non-frivolous); Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1
(explaining that if after independent review, the court finds arguable legal points, the appeal will
be abated for the trial court to appoint new counsel if individual is indigent).
