On Appeal from the 356th District Court
Hardin County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 25864
__________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In an open plea, appellant Wesley Jacob Jones pleaded guilty to the offense
of repeated violation of court order or condition of bond. See Tex. Penal Code Ann.
§ 25.072. After conducting a sentencing hearing, the trial court found Jones guilty
of the offense of repeated violation of court order or condition of bond and assessed
Jones’s punishment at five years of confinement.
Jones’s appellate counsel filed an Anders brief that presents counsel’s
professional evaluation of the record and concludes that the appeal is frivolous. See
1
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1978). On April 27, 2022, we granted an extension of time for Jones to
file a pro se brief. We received no response from Jones.
We have independently reviewed the appellate record, and we agree with
counsel’s conclusion that no arguable issues support the appeal. See id. Therefore,
we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeal.
Cf. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the
trial court’s judgment.1
AFFIRMED.
