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


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Pursuant to a plea bargain, appellant Andrew Jason Vasquez pled guilty to evading arrest or detention by using a vehicle. On November 29, 2004, the trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Vasquez guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Vasquez on community supervision for five years, and assessed a fine of $1,000. On November 16, 2006, the State filed a motion to revoke Vasquez's unadjudicated community supervision. Vasquez pled "true" to one violation of the conditions of his community supervision. The trial court found that Vasquez violated the conditions of his community supervision, found Vasquez guilty of evading arrest or detention by using a vehicle, and assessed punishment at two years of confinement in a state jail facility. Vasquez'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 May 10, 2007, 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.

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