ROECHALLE BARRETT ROWE, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 411th District Court
Polk County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 24,012
__________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
A jury found appellant Roechalle Barrett Rowe guilty of possession of a
controlled substance and the trial judge assessed punishment at two years of
confinement and a fine of $750, but suspended imposition of sentence and placed
Rowe on community supervision for two years.
Rowe’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.
1
1978). On April 5, 2017, we granted an extension of time for Rowe to file a pro se
brief. We received no response from Rowe.
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. Cf. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d
503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court’s judgment.1
AFFIRMED.
