In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-10-00350-CR ____________________ BRENT ALLEN IVEY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 08-03778 MEMORANDUM OPINION Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Brent Allen Ivey pled guilty to burglary of a habitation. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Ivey guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Ivey on community supervision for five years, and assessed a fine of $1000. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Ivey s unadjudicated community supervision. Ivey pled true to one violation of the conditions of his community supervision. The trial court found that Ivey violated the conditions of 1 his community supervision, found Ivey guilty of burglary of a habitation, and assessed punishment at eighteen years of confinement. Ivey 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 September 30, 2010, 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. ________________________________ CHARLES KREGER Justice Submitted January 10, 2011 Opinion Delivered February 9, 2011 Do not publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Gaultney and Kreger, JJ. 1 Appellant may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for discretionary review.
