WILLIAM RUSSELL YORK, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
__________________________________________________________________
On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 13-17280
__________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant William Russell York
pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. The trial court found the evidence sufficient
to find York guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed York on community
supervision for five years, and assessed a fine of $750. The State subsequently
filed a motion to revoke York’s unadjudicated community supervision. York
pleaded “true” to four violations of the conditions of his community supervision.
The trial court found that York had violated the conditions of his community
1
supervision, found York guilty of aggravated assault, and assessed punishment at
five years of confinement.
York’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 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App.
1978). On November 18, 2014, we granted an extension of time for York to file a
pro se brief. We received no response from York. We have 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.
