Appellant Kristoff Jamell Grogan pled guilty to aggravated robbery, and the jury assessed punishment at twenty years of imprisonment and a $10,000.00 fine. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 29.03(a)(2) (Vernon 2003).

Grogan'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, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). On June 15, 2006, we granted an extension of time for Grogan to file a pro se brief. We received no response from the appellant.

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. Compare Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). The judgment is affirmed. ⁽¹⁾

AFFIRMED.
