In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-19-00015-CR __________________ PEDRO GARCIA III, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 221st District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 18-04-05512-CR __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On July 17, 2018, a Montgomery County Grand Jury indicted Pedro Garcia, III for theft of property in an amount less than $2,500, a class A misdemeanor enhanced to a state jail felony based on multiple prior theft convictions. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 31.03(e)(4)(D). The State further alleged two enhancements for prior felony convictions of unlawful possession of a firearm and burglary of a habitation, elevating the offense to a second-degree felony. See id. § 12.425(b). The

jury found Garcia guilty of the state jail felony offense of theft of property. During the punishment hearing, Garcia pled “true” to the additional enhancement paragraphs for prior convictions of unlawful possession of a firearm and burglary of a habitation. The jury found the enhancement paragraphs to be “true” and sentenced Garcia to ten years of confinement.

Garcia’s appellate counsel filed a brief presenting counsel’s professional evaluation of the record and concludes the appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). We notified Garcia of his right to file a pro se brief, but we received no response.

We have independently examined the entire appellate record in this matter, and we agree that no arguable issues support an appeal. We have determined that this appeal is wholly frivolous. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeal. Cf. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court’s judgment.

AFFIRMED.
