LIONELL ANDERSON A/K/A LIONELL ANDERSON, Jr., Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 07-01012
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Lionell Anderson a/k/a Lionell Anderson, Jr. pled guilty to assault on a family member. The trial court found Anderson guilty and assessed punishment at ten years of confinement, then suspended imposition of sentence, placed Anderson on community supervision for ten years, and assessed a $1000 fine. On June 5, 2008, the State filed a motion to revoke Anderson's community supervision. Anderson pled "true" to three violations of the terms of the community supervision order. The trial court found that Anderson violated the terms of the community supervision order, revoked Anderson's community supervision, and imposed a sentence of ten years of confinement.
Anderson'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 March 12, 2009, 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.
