A jury found Thomas Freeman, Jr., guilty of aggravated assault. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.02(a)(2) (Vernon 2003). After finding the defendant to be an habitual offender, the trial court assessed punishment at twenty-five years of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division.

Appellate counsel filed a brief that concludes no arguable error is presented in this appeal. 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 January 23, 2003, Freeman was given an extension of time in which to file a pro se brief. We received no response from the appellant. Because the appeal involves the application of well-settled principles of law, we deliver this memorandum opinion. See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.

We have reviewed the clerk's record and the reporter's record, and find no arguable error requiring us to order appointment of new counsel. Compare Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). The judgment is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
