SHELDRIC REON MATSON, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 410th District Court

Montgomery County, Texas

Trial Cause Nos. 06-08-07521 CR, 06-08-07513 CR, and 06-09-08699 CR




MEMORANDUM OPINION



Sheldric Reon Matson appeals his convictions in three cases. In Cause No. 06-08-07521-CR, Matson pled guilty to delivery of a controlled substance, cocaine, in an amount of four grams or more but less than 200 grams. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.112 (d) (Vernon 2003). In Cause No. 06-08-07513-CR, Matson pled guilty to two counts of delivery of a controlled substance, cocaine, in an amount of four grams or more but less than 200 grams. Id. In Cause No. 06-09-08699-CR, Matson pled guilty to evading arrest or detention with use of a vehicle in flight and a prior conviction for evading arrest. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 38.04(a), (b)(2)(A) (Vernon 2003). The three indictments alleged prior convictions that enhanced the punishment range to that of a repeat offender. The trial court assessed concurrent fifty-year sentences for the deliveries of a controlled substance and a concurrent twenty-year sentence for evading arrest or detention.

On appeal, Matson's counsel filed a brief that presents counsel's professional evaluation of the records and concludes the appeals are 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 August 30, 2007, we granted an extension of time for the appellant to file a pro se brief. We received no response from appellant.

We reviewed the appellate records, and we agree with counsel's conclusion that no arguable issues support the appeals. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeals. 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). We affirm the trial court's judgments. (1)



AFFIRMED.
