On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas, Trial Cause No. 86235.

Before McKEITHEN, C.J., KREGER and HORTON, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Jarmall Gordon pled guilty to aggravated robbery. On September 3, 2002, the trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Gordon guilty, but deferred further proceedings, and placed Gordon on community supervision for four years. On December 17, 2007, the State filed a motion to revoke Gordon's unadjudicated community supervision. Gordon pled "true" to two violations of the conditions of his community supervision. The trial court found that Gordon violated the conditions of his community supervision, found Gordon guilty of aggravated robbery, and assessed punishment at twenty years of confinement. Gordon'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 11, 2008, 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. AFFIRMED.

On the judgment, appellant's surname is spelled "Gordan."

Appellant may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for discretionary review. See Tex. R. App. P. 68.
