In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-10-00545-CR _________________ CHRISTIE HUNT COMBS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 96253 ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Christie Hunt Combs pled guilty to burglary of a building. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Combs guilty, but deferred further proceedings and placed Combs on community supervision for two years. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Combs s unadjudicated community supervision. Combs pled true to four violations of the conditions of her community supervision. The trial court found that Combs had violated the conditions of 1 her community supervision, found Combs guilty of burglary of a building, and assessed punishment at two years of confinement in a state jail facility. Combs 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 January 20, 2011, we granted an extension of time for Combs to file a pro se brief. We received no response from Combs. We have 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. ________________________________ HOLLIS HORTON Justice Submitted on April 29, 2011 Opinion Delivered May 11, 2011 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Gaultney and Horton, JJ. 1 Combs may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for discretionary review.
