In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-10-00376-CR _________________ MARCUS WILLIS CAREY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 07-00828 ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Marcus Willis Carey pled guilty to injury to a child. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Carey guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Carey on community supervision for five years, and assessed a fine of $500. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Carey s unadjudicated community supervision. Carey pled true to three violations of the conditions of his community supervision. The trial court found that Carey violated the 1 conditions of his community supervision, found Carey guilty of injury to a child, and assessed punishment at ten years of confinement. Carey 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 October 21, 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 rebrief 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. _________________________________ HOLLIS HORTON Justice Submitted on February 9, 2011 Opinion Delivered February 23, 2011 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 1 Appellant may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for discretionary review.
