ALFONSO TORRES, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
________________________________________________________________________
On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 11-11104
________________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pursuant to a plea agreement, appellant Alfonso Torres pled guilty to the
offense of money laundering. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find
Torres guilty, but deferred finding him guilty. The trial court placed Torres on
community supervision for five years and assessed a fine of $500. The State
subsequently filed a motion to revoke Torres’s unadjudicated community
supervision. Torres pled “true” to three violations of the terms of his community
1
supervision. The trial court found that Torres violated the terms of the community
supervision order, revoked Torres’s community supervision, and imposed a
sentence of 13 years of confinement.
Torres’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 November 21, 2012, we granted an
extension of time for appellant to file a pro se brief. We received no response from
the appellant.
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.

Appellant may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for
discretionary review. See Tex. R. App. P. 68.
