MEMORANDUM OPINION


Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Felicia Lurelia Otems a/k/a Felicia Otems Leon pled guilty to assault on a public servant. On January 3, 2006, the trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Otems guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Otems on community supervision for seven years, and assessed a fine of $ 750. On April 5, 2007, the State filed a motion to revoke Otems's unadjudicated community supervision. Otems pled "true" to two violations of the conditions of her community supervision. The trial court found that Otems violated the conditions of her community supervision, found Otems guilty of assault on a public servant, and assessed punishment at twelve years of confinement. Otems'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 October 16, 2008, we granted an extension of time for appellant to file a pro se brief. We received no response from appellant. 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.
