Cody Warden waived his right to a jury trial and pleaded guilty to two charges: assault causing bodily injury and violation of a protective order. Under plea agreements, he was sentenced to 365 days in county jail, probated for twenty months for each charge, with an additional $200 fine for the protective order violation. Subsequently, the State moved to revoke his community supervision, citing multiple violations. Warden pleaded true to the allegations during the revocation hearing. The trial court granted the State's motions, revoked his community supervision, and imposed a 365-day jail sentence for each case.

On appeal, Warden’s attorney filed briefs declaring the appeals to be frivolous and lacking merit, in accordance with the standards set by *Anders v. California*. The briefs provided a professional assessment of the record, indicating no viable grounds for appeal. Warden was informed of his right to file a pro se response but did not do so. After reviewing the record and the attorney's briefs, the court found no arguable issues supporting the appeals. The judgments of the trial court revoking Warden's community supervision were affirmed on September 26, 2018.
