MELVIN RANDALL COOK, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 09-07811
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Melvin Randall Cook pleaded guilty, under a plea bargain, to burglary of a habitation. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Cook guilty, but deferred further proceedings and placed him on unadjudicated community supervision for five years. After the State filed a motion to revoke, the trial court held a hearing. Cook pleaded "true" to a violation of the conditions of his supervision. The trial court found that Cook had violated the conditions, revoked Cook's community supervision, found him guilty of burglary of a habitation, and assessed punishment at twenty years in prison.
Cook's appellate counsel filed a brief that presents counsel's professional evaluation of the record and concludes there are no arguable points of error. 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). This Court notified Cook of his right to file a pro se response. He filed a short response.
We have reviewed the record to determine whether there are any arguable grounds which might support an appeal. Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 509-10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We have found none. Therefore, it is unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to rebrief the appeal. See Bledsoe, 178 S.W.3d at 826-27; compare Stafford, 813 S.W.2d at 511.
We affirm the trial court's judgment.
AFFIRMED.
