HARGUST JOHNSON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 11-12147
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Hargust Johnson was indicted for the State Jail felony offense of burglary of a building. He entered a plea of not guilty to the charge. A jury found appellant guilty of burglary of a building and assessed punishment at fifteen months confinement, and a fine of $500. The trial court sentenced appellant to fifteen months confinement, and assessed a fine of $500.
Hargust Johnson is also known as Jay Johnson.
Johnson'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 July 5, 2012, we granted an extension of time for appellant to file a pro se brief. We received no response from the appellant.
We have 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.

AFFIRMED.
