JAMAL ANTHONY JONES, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 252nd District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 11-11386


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pursuant to a plea agreement, appellant Jamal Anthony Jones pled guilty to the offense of Injury to a Child. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Jones guilty, but deferred finding him guilty. The trial court placed Jones on community supervision for five years and assessed a fine of $750. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Jones' unadjudicated community supervision alleging one violation of the conditions of his community supervision. At the hearing on the motion to revoke, Jones pled "not true" to the alleged violation. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Count 1 "true," revoked Jones' unadjudicated community supervision, found Jones guilty of injury to a child, and imposed a sentence of ten years of confinement.

Jones' 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 September 15, 2011, 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. 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.
