ROBERT LEE GRANT, JR., Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause Nos. 09-06098, 09-06100
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pursuant to plea bargain agreements, appellant Robert Lee Grant, Jr. pleaded guilty to two charges of aggravated robbery. In each case, the trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Grant guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Grant on community supervision for five years, and assessed a fine of $500. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Grant's unadjudicated community supervision in each case. In each case, Grant pleaded "true" to violating two conditions of his community supervision. In both cases, the trial court found that Grant violated the conditions of his community supervision, found Grant guilty of aggravated robbery, and assessed punishment at twenty-five years of confinement.
Grant's appellate counsel filed briefs that present counsel's professional evaluation of the records and conclude the appeals are 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 June 7, 2012, we granted an extension of time for appellant to file a pro se brief in each case. We received no response from the appellant.
We have reviewed the appellate records, and we agree with counsel's conclusion that no arguable issues support the appeals. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeals. Compare Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court's judgments.
Grant may challenge our decision in these cases by filing a petition for discretionary review. See Tex. R. App. P. 68.
AFFIRMED.
