On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas, Trial Cause No. 98168.

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


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Brandon Paul Dies pled guilty to failure to comply with the sex offender registration requirements. The trial court found Dies guilty and assessed punishment at two years of confinement, then suspended imposition of sentence and placed Dies on community supervision for five years. On August 16, 2007, the State filed a motion to revoke Dies's community supervision. Dies pled "true" to three violations of the terms of the community supervision order. The trial court found that Dies violated the terms of the community supervision order, revoked Dies's community supervision, and imposed a sentence of two years of confinement in a state jail facility. Dies'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 October 2, 2008, we granted an extension of time for appellant to file a pro se brief. We received no response from the 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.
