ROBBIE MABRA, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2
Tarrant County, Texas
Trial Court No. 1633070
Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Stevens
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Robbie Mabra pled guilty to forgery, a state jail-felony offense, and, pursuant to a plea
bargain with the State, was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for two
years.1 The State subsequently alleged that Mabra violated the terms and conditions of his
community supervision by failing to report and failing to provide urine samples on numerous
occasions. After an evidentiary hearing at which Mabra pled true to the allegations, the trial
court found the allegations true, revoked Mabra’s deferred adjudication community supervision,
and sentenced him to twelve months’ imprisonment. Mabra appeals.
Mabra’s appellate counsel has filed a brief stating that he reviewed the record and found
no genuinely arguable issues that could be raised on appeal. The brief sets out the procedural
history of the case and summarizes the evidence elicited during the course of the trial court
proceedings. Since appellate counsel has provided a professional evaluation of the record
demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced, that evaluation meets the
requirements of Anders v. California. 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). Appellate counsel also filed a motion with this Court seeking to
withdraw as counsel in this appeal.

This appeal was transferred to this Court from the Second Court of Appeals pursuant to a Texas Supreme Court
docket equalization order. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001 (Supp.). Accordingly, we apply the precedent of
the Second Court of Appeals in deciding this case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 41.3.

On August 17, 2026, appellate counsel mailed to Mabra copies of the brief, the motion to
withdraw, and the appellate record. Mabra was informed of his rights to review the record and
file a pro se response. By letter dated October 1, this Court informed Mabra that the case would
be set for submission on October 22. We received neither a pro se response from Mabra nor a
motion requesting an extension of time in which to file such a response.
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
affirm the trial court’s judgment. Id.
We affirm the judgment of the trial court.2

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.
