Lawrence Wayne Semien v. State
Lawrence Wayne Semien v. State
Opinion
Pursuant to a plea bargain, appellant Lawrence Wayne Semien pled guilty to burglary of a habitation. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Semien guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Semien on community supervision for five years, and assessed a fine of $500. On February 22, 2006 , the State filed a motion to revoke Semien's unadjudicated community supervision. Semien pled true to violating one of the conditions of the community supervision order. The trial court found that Semien violated the conditions of his community supervision, found Semien guilty of burglary of a habitation, and assessed punishment at six years of confinement.
Semien'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). Appellant did not file a pro se brief. 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.
