DAPHNE OCTAVIA SPURLOCK, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 435th District Court Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 13-12-13492 CR

MEMORANDUM OPINION

A jury convicted Daphne Octavia Spurlock of injury to a child and sentenced Spurlock to forty years in prison. Spurlock's appellate counsel filed a brief that presents counsel's professional evaluation of the record and concludes Spurlock's appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California., 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). We granted an extension of time for Spurlock to file a pro se brief, but we received no response from Spurlock. We have determined that this appeal is wholly frivolous. We have independently examined the clerk's record and the reporter's record, and we agree 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.

Spurlock may challenge our decision by filing a petition for discretionary review. See Tex. R. App. P. 68.

AFFIRMED.
