In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-20-00002-CR __________________ WILLIAM SHAWN MAYON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 253rd District Court Liberty County, Texas Trial Cause No. CR31988 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant William Shawn Mayon pleaded guilty to engaging in organized criminal activity. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Mayon guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Mayon on community supervision for five years, and assessed a fine of $1000. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Mayon’s unadjudicated community supervision. Mayon pleaded “true” to nine violations of the conditions of his 1 community supervision. The trial court found that Mayon had violated the conditions of his community supervision, found Mayon guilty of engaging in organized criminal activity, and assessed punishment at ten years of confinement. Mayon’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 February 10, 2020, we granted an extension of time for Mayon to file a pro se brief. We received no response from Mayon. 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 rebrief the appeal. Cf. 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 _________________________ STEVE McKEITHEN Chief Justice Submitted on May 14, 2020 Opinion Delivered July 1, 2020 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. Mayon may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for discretionary review. See Tex. R. App. P. 68. 1 2
