SHAUN MICHAEL WELCH, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 00-08-04868-CR
A jury found Shaun Michael Welch to be guilty of two counts of aggravated assault on a public servant. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. §§ 22.01(a)(1), 22.02(a), (b)(2) (Vernon 1994 & Supp. 2001). The jury also made an affirmative finding of the use of a deadly weapon in the commission of the offense. The jury found Welch to be a repeat offender and assessed punishment on each count at fifty years of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division.
After appeal was perfected appellate counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967), and High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). The brief concludes no arguable error which would support an appeal is presented, a conclusion with which we concur. On June 28, 2001, Welch was given an extension of time in which to file a pro se brief if he so desired. As of today, we have not received a response from the appellant.
We have reviewed the clerk's record and the reporter's record, and find no arguable error requiring us to order appointment of new counsel. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment and sentence of the trial court.
AFFIRMED.
