CHRISTOPHER BRYAN JONES, Appellant



V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 252nd District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 09-05686




MEMORANDUM OPINION



Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Christopher Bryan Jones pled guilty to burglary of a building. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Jones guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Jones on community supervision for four years, and assessed a fine of $500. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Jones's unadjudicated community supervision. Jones pled "true" to one violation of the conditions of his community supervision. The trial court found that Jones violated the conditions of his community supervision, found Jones guilty of burglary of a building, and assessed punishment at eighteen months of confinement in a state jail facility.

Jones'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 22, 2009, 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.
