KHRISTOPHER LEWIS HAWTHORNE, Appellant v. STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 08-02790
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Khristopher Lewis Hawthorne pleaded guilty, under a plea bargain, to forgery. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Hawthorne guilty, but deferred further proceedings and placed him on community supervision for two years. The community supervision was extended for an additional year. After the State filed a motion to revoke, the trial court held a hearing. Hawthorne pleaded "true" to three violations. The trial court found that Hawthorne had violated the conditions of his community supervision, revoked Hawthorne's unadjudicated community supervision, found him guilty of forgery, and assessed punishment at twenty-four months in the state jail division.
Hawthorne's appellate counsel filed a brief that presents counsel's professional evaluation of the record and concludes there are no arguable points of error. 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). This Court notified Hawthorne of his right to file a pro se response. He did not file a response.
We have reviewed the record to determine whether there are any arguable grounds which might support an appeal. Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 509-10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We have found none. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to rebrief Hawthorne's appeal. See Bledsoe, 178 S.W.3d at 826-27; compare Stafford, 813 S.W.2d at 511.
We affirm the trial court's judgment.
AFFIRMED.
