Court of Appeals
Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont

ANTHONY MAPLE, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 95642
Pursuant to a plea bargain, appellant Anthony Maple pled guilty to aggravated assault. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Maple guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Maple on community supervision for five years, and assessed a fine of $500. On December 11, 2006, the State filed a motion to revoke Maple's unadjudicated community supervision. Maple pled "true" to three violations of the conditions of his community supervision. The trial court found that Maple violated the conditions of his community supervision, found Maple guilty of aggravated assault, and assessed punishment at twelve years of confinement.
Maple'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 September 20, 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.
