JACQUALINE LABON McWILLIAMS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 252nd District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 10-09014


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, Jacqualine Labon McWilliams pleaded guilty to the state jail felony offense of delivery of a controlled substance (cocaine) in an amount of less than one gram. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.112 (a), (b) (West 2010). The trial court deferred adjudication of guilt and placed McWilliams on unadjudicated community supervision for five years. Subsequently, the State filed a motion to revoke the community supervision. McWilliams pleaded "true" to two violations. The trial court found McWilliams violated the terms of the community supervision order, adjudicated her guilt, and sentenced her to two years in state jail.

McWilliams's appellate counsel filed an Anders brief in which she concluded there are no arguable grounds 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). McWilliams was advised of her right to file a pro se response. She did not file a response.

We have independently reviewed the entire 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 McWilliams'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.
