On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas, Trial Cause No. 70451.

Before McKEITHEN, C.J., KREGER and HORTON, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant Dale Marie Kegler pled guilty to murder. The trial court found that the evidence showed Kegler's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt but deferred further proceedings, placed Kegler on probation for ten years, and assessed a fine of $625.00. On August 29, 2005, the State filed a motion to revoke Kegler's unadjudicated probation. Kegler pled "true" to violating two of the conditions of her probation. The Court found that Kegler violated the conditions of her probation, found her guilty of murder, assessed punishment at fifty years of imprisonment, and ordered reparation in the amount of $4,692.50. Kegler'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). We 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. AFFIRMED.

Appellant may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for discretionary review. See Tex. R. App. P. 68.
