In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ________________ NO. 09-14-00152-CR ________________ JAKARI RAMONE CROUT, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 09-07730 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Jakari Ramone Crout pleaded guilty to injury to a child. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Crout guilty, but deferred further proceedings and placed Crout on community supervision for ten years. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Crout s unadjudicated community supervision. Crout pleaded true to five violations of the conditions of his community supervision. The trial court found that Crout 1 violated conditions of his community supervision, found Crout guilty of injury to a child, and assessed punishment at twenty years of confinement. Crout 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 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). On June 24, 2014, we granted an extension of time for Crout to file a pro se brief. We received no response from Crout. 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. ________________________________ STEVE McKEITHEN Chief Justice Submitted on October 1, 2014 Opinion Delivered October 8, 2014 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ. 1 Crout may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for discretionary review.
