BRENDA TAYLOR, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 252nd District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 88562




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pursuant to a plea bargain, appellant Brenda Taylor pled guilty to forgery. On October 6, 2003, the trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Taylor guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Taylor on community supervision for three years, assessed a fine of $750, and ordered payment of restitution in the amount of $1,172.27. The State filed a motion to revoke Taylor's unadjudicated community supervision. Taylor pled "true" to three violations of the conditions of her community supervision. The trial court found that Taylor violated the conditions of her community supervision, found Taylor guilty of forgery, and assessed punishment at twelve months of confinement in a state jail facility.

Taylor's appellate counsel filed a brief that presents counsel's professional evaluation of the record and concludes the appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). On April 19, 2007, we granted an extension of time for appellant to file a pro se brief. We received no response from appellant. We reviewed the appellate record, and we agree with counsel's conclusion that no arguable issues support an appeal. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeal. Compare Stafford

v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court's judgment. (1)

AFFIRMED.
