LONNIE JAMES LEWIS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 10-09786

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Lonnie James Lewis pleaded
no contest to injury to a child as a habitual felony offender. The trial court found
the evidence sufficient to find Lewis guilty but deferred further proceedings,
placed Lewis on community supervision, and assessed a fine of $1000. The State
subsequently filed a motion to revoke Lewis’s unadjudicated community
supervision. Lewis pleaded “true” to three violations of the conditions of his
community supervision. The trial court found that Lewis had violated the
conditions of his community supervision, found him guilty, and assessed
punishment at twenty-five years of confinement.
Lewis’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 June 11, 2015, we granted an extension of time for Lewis to file a pro se
brief. We received no response from Lewis. We have reviewed the appellate
record, and we agree with counsel’s conclusion that no arguable issues support this
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.
