MEMORANDUM OPINION

Without a plea bargain agreement, appellant Chad Jamal Slaughter pled no contest to possession of a controlled substance. The trial court assessed punishment at ten years of confinement, then suspended imposition of sentence, placed Slaughter on community supervision for ten years, and assessed a $500 fine. On November 9, 2007, the State filed an amended motion to revoke Slaughter's community supervision. Slaughter pled "true" to two violations of the terms of the community supervision order. The trial court found that Slaughter violated the terms of the community supervision order, revoked Slaughter's community supervision, and imposed a sentence of ten years of confinement.

Slaughter'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 April 3, 2008, 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.
