TABORAH MICHELYN MORGAN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 252nd District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 10-09396


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, Taborah Michelyn Morgan pleaded guilty to unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. The trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Morgan guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Morgan on community supervision for two years, and assessed a $500 fine. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Morgan's unadjudicated community supervision. Morgan pleaded "true" to violating five conditions of her community supervision. The trial court found that Morgan violated the conditions of her community supervision, revoked Morgan's unadjudicated community supervision, found Morgan guilty of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and sentenced Morgan to two years of confinement in a state jail facility.

Morgan'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 September 15, 2011, we granted an extension of time for Morgan to file a pro se brief. We received no response from Morgan. 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.

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

AFFIRMED.
