MIGUEL LORENZI, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the Criminal District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 97810




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Without the benefit of a plea bargain, appellant Miguel Lorenzi pled guilty to evading arrest or detention by using a vehicle. The trial court assessed punishment at two years of confinement in a state jail facility, then suspended imposition of sentence, placed Lorenzi on community supervision for five years, and assessed a $1,000 fine. On January 30, 2007, the State filed a motion to revoke Lorenzi's community supervision. Lorenzi pled "true" to one violation of the terms of the community supervision order. The trial court found that Lorenzi violated the terms of the community supervision order, revoked Lorenzi's community supervision, and imposed a sentence of one year of confinement in a state jail facility.

Lorenzi'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 December 13, 2007, we granted an extension of time for appellant to file a pro se brief. We received no response from the 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.
