TIMOTHY JACK VENABLE, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 252nd District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 93528




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pursuant to a plea bargain, appellant Timothy Jack Venable pleaded guilty to burglary of a building. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Venable guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Venable on community supervision for two years, ordered Venable to serve one hundred eighty days "up front" time in a state jail facility, and ordered Venable to pay restitution in the amount of $3,000. On May 17, 2005, Venable filed a pro se motion to revoke his probation. On January 4, 2006, the State filed a motion to revoke Venable's unadjudicated probation. Venable pleaded "true" to three violations of the conditions of his probation. The trial court found that Venable violated the conditions of his community supervision, found Venable guilty of burglary of a building, and assessed punishment at eighteen months of confinement in a state jail facility.

Venable'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). 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.
