GARY LYNN HARRINGTON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 14-20480
MEMORANDUM OPINION
After a bench trial, the trial court found appellant Gary Lynn Harrington guilty of injury to a disabled individual and assessed punishment at ten years of confinement. Harrington appealed the judgment of conviction.
Harrington'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 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). On August 28, 2015, we granted an extension of time for Harrington to file a pro se brief. We received no response from Harrington. We have reviewed the appellate record, and we agree with counsel's conclusion that no arguable issues support the 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.
Harrington may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for discretionary review. See Tex. R. App. P. 68. --------
AFFIRMED.
