CHRISTOPHER ROY JOSEPH, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 252nd District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 08-04330




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Christopher Roy Joseph pled guilty to unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Joseph guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Joseph on community supervision for three years, and assessed a fine of $500. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Joseph's unadjudicated community supervision. Joseph pled "true" to one violation of the conditions of his community supervision. The trial court found that Joseph violated the conditions of his community supervision, found Joseph guilty of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and assessed punishment at two years of confinement in a state jail facility.

Joseph'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 July 9, 2009, 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. Compare Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court's judgment. (1)

AFFIRMED.
