Henry Velasquez v. State

ON MOTION TO WITHDRAW

SARAH B. DUNCAN, Justice.

Relying upon Chandler v. State, 988 S.W.2d 827 (Tex.App.—Dallas 1999, motion granted) Henry Velasquez’s counsel moves to withdraw, arguing “[i]t is ... a certain denial of effective assistance of appellate counsel to permit trial counsel to analyze and reject as frivolous a potential appellate argument alleging ineffective assistance of himself.” We disagree and therefore construe counsel’s motion as a motion to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967).
