Margaret Christine Fanali entered a non-negotiated guilty plea to possession of a controlled substance, cocaine, in an amount of one gram or more but less than four grams, and pled true to the repeat offender enhancement allegations that were included in the indictment. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.115(c) (Vernon 2003); Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 12.42(a)(3) (Vernon Supp. 2006). The trial court convicted Fanali and imposed a sentence of seven years of confinement in Texas Department of Criminal Justice --Correctional Institutions Division.

On appeal, Fanali's 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 March 1, 2007, we granted an extension of time for appellant to file a pro se brief. We received no response from 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. Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); cf. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court's judgment. ⁽¹⁾
