GERALD LOWELL CASTILLE, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 252nd District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 95156




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pursuant to a plea bargain, appellant Gerald Lowell Castille pled guilty to aggravated robbery. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Castille guilty of aggravated robbery, but deferred finding Castille guilty, placed him on community supervision for ten years, ordered him to pay restitution in the amount of $50, and assessed a $1600 fine. On February 13, 2006, the State filed a motion to revoke Castille's unadjudicated community supervision. Castille pled "true" to two of the alleged violations of the terms of his community supervision. The trial court found that Castille violated two of the conditions of his community supervision, found him guilty of aggravated robbery, and assessed punishment at twenty-five years of confinement.

Castille'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 February 1, 2007, we granted an extension of time for appellant 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). We affirm the trial court's judgment. (1)

AFFIRMED.
