MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Carnel Joseph Fontenot pled guilty to arson. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Fontenot guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Fontenot on community supervision for eight years, and assessed a fine of $500. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Fontenot's unadjudicated community supervision. Fontenot pled "true" to three violations of the conditions of his community supervision. The trial court found that Fontenot violated the conditions of his community supervision, found Fontenot guilty of arson, and assessed punishment at ten years of confinement. Fontenot'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 24, 2009, 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.
Appellant may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for discretionary review. See Tex. R. App. P. 68.
