Case Information

*1 In The

Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont

________________ NO. 09-15-00453-CR ________________ CHRISTOPHER LEE MUSSLEWHITE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

__________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 1A District Court

Jasper County, Texas Trial Cause No. 12240JD __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

A jury found appellant Christopher Lee Musslewhite guilty of burglary of a building, and the trial court assessed punishment at fifteen years of confinement and a fine of $1000. [1]

Musslewhite’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 (1967); High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. *2 Crim. App. 1978). On July 28, 2016, we granted an extension of time for Musslewhite to file a pro se brief. We received no response from Musslewhite.

We have reviewed the appellate record, and we agree with counsel’s conclusion that no arguable issues support the appeal. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeal. Cf. Stafford v. State , 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court’s judgment. [2]

AFFIRMED.
