In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-09-00212-CR NO. 09-09-00213-CR ____________________ SHAD LEE ROMERO, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. 07-01150, 07-01151 MEMORANDUM OPINION Pursuant to plea bargain agreements, appellant Shad Lee Romero pled guilty to unauthorized use of a vehicle and burglary of a habitation. In each case, the trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Romero guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Romero on community supervision for five years, and assessed a fine of $500. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Romero s unadjudicated community supervision in both cases. Romero pled true in both cases to six violations of the conditions of his 1 community supervision. In each case, the trial court found that Romero violated the conditions of his community supervision and found him guilty. In the unauthorized use of a motor vehicle case, the trial court assessed punishment at two years of confinement in a state jail facility, and in the burglary of a habitation case, the trial court assessed punishment at twenty years of confinement. The trial court ordered that the sentences were to run concurrently. Romero s appellate counsel filed briefs that present counsel s professional evaluation of the records and conclude the appeals are 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 October 8, 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 records, and we agree with counsel s conclusion that no arguable issues support the appeals. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeals. Compare Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court s judgments.1 1 Appellant may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for discretionary review. See T EX. R. A PP. P. 68. 2 AFFIRMED. _________________________________ DAVID GAULTNEY Justice Submitted on February 9, 2010 Opinion Delivered February 17, 2010 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Gaultney and Kreger, JJ. 3
