Before GAULTNEY, KREGER, and HORTON, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Derek Randall Grandchampt pleaded guilty to burglary of a habitation. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Grandchampt guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Grandchampt on community supervision for five years, and assessed a fine of $1000. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Grandchampt's unadjudicated community supervision. Grandchampt pleaded "true" to four violations of the conditions of his community supervision. The trial court found that Grandchampt violated the conditions of his community supervision, found Grandchampt guilty of burglary of a habitation, and assessed punishment at seven years of confinement. Grandchampt'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). We granted an extension of time for appellant to file a pro se brief. We received a 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.
