On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 12-13328

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Arthur Jay Gray Jr. a/k/a
Arthur Jay Gray pleaded guilty to felony theft with prior theft convictions. The
trial court found Gray guilty and assessed punishment at two years of confinement
in a state jail facility and a fine of $1000, then suspended imposition of sentence,
placed Gray on community supervision for five years, and assessed a fine of
$1000. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Gray’s community
1
supervision. Gray pleaded “true” to one violation of the terms of the community
supervision order. The trial court found that Gray violated the terms of the
community supervision order, revoked Gray’s community supervision, and
imposed a sentence of two years of confinement in a state jail facility.
Gray’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 October 25, 2012, we granted an
extension of time for gray to file a pro se brief. We received no response from
Gray.
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.

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