CHRISTOPHER DALE WILSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 05-01-00773 CR
Christopher Dale Wilson pleaded guilty before a jury on an indictment for the second degree felony of indecency with a child by contact. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 21.11(a)(1), (d) (Vernon 2003). The jury sentenced Wilson to eighteen years of confinement in Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division. The trial court certified that this is not a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
Appellate counsel filed a brief in which he presents a professional evaluation of the record and concludes that 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 November 9, 2006, we granted Wilson an extension of time in which to file a pro se brief. The appellant did not file a response.
We have reviewed the clerk's and the reporter's records, and find no arguable error requiring us to order appointment of new counsel to brief the issues on appeal. Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); cf. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). The judgment is affirmed. (1)
AFFIRMED.
