In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-22-00200-CR __________________ DYLAN PAUL TICE, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 20-34,902 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION In an open plea, appellant Dylan Paul Tice pleaded guilty to the offense of violation of a protective order with previous convictions, a third-degree felony. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 25.07(g)(2). After conducting a sentencing hearing, the trial court found Tice guilty of the offense of violation of a protective order with previous convictions and assessed Tice’s punishment at six years of confinement.

Tice’s appellate counsel filed an Anders brief that presents counsel’s professional evaluation of the record and concludes that the appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). On July 27, 2022, we granted an extension of time for Tice to file a pro se brief. We received no response from Tice.

We have independently reviewed the appellate record, and we agree with counsel’s conclusion that no arguable issues support the appeal. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744. 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.1 AFFIRMED.
