Earlie B. Norman entered a non-negotiated guilty plea to an indictment for the first degree felony offense of murder. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 19.02(b)(1) (Vernon 1994). The trial court convicted and sentenced Norman to thirty years of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division.

After appeal was perfected, appellate counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). The brief concludes that the record presents no arguable error which would support an appeal, a conclusion with which we concur. On June 14, 2001, Norman was given an extension of time in which to file a pro se brief if he so desired. We received no response from the appellant.

As there was no plea bargain agreement, we have jurisdiction over the appeal. Jack v. State, 871 S.W.2d 741, 744 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994). It appears the appellant was duly admonished. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 26.13 (Vernon 1989 & Supp. 2001). Norman signed a judicial confession admitting to having committed the offense and admitted his guilt in open court. He does not contest the voluntariness of his guilty plea. We have reviewed the clerk's and the reporter's records, and find no arguable error requiring us to order appointment of new counsel. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment.

AFFIRMED.
