    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    No. 04-06-00848-CR
    Christina Kay COOK,
    Appellant
    v.
    The STATE of Texas,
    Appellee
    From the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
    Trial Court No. 2003-CR-8532
    Honorable Mark R. Luitjen, Judge Presiding
    Opinion by:       Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
    Sitting:          Alma L. López, Chief Justice
    Catherine Stone, Justice
    Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
    Delivered and Filed: September 10, 2008
    AFFIRMED
    Defendant’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief containing a professional
    evaluation of the record and demonstrating there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. Counsel
    concludes that the appeal is without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California,
    
    386 U.S. 738
    (1967). Defendant was informed of her right to review the record. Counsel provided
    defendant with a copy of the brief and advised her of her right to file a pro se brief. Defendant has
    not filed a pro se brief.
    04-06-00848-CR
    After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without
    merit. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s judgment, and we GRANT appellate counsel’s
    motion to withdraw.1 Nichols v. State, 
    954 S.W.2d 83
    , 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.).

    252 S.W.3d 403
    , 408 n.22 (Tex. Crim. App.
    2008). Should appellant wish to seek further review of this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, 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 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 along with the rest of
    the filings in this case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.3. Any petition for discretionary review must comply with the
    requirements of Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 68.4.
