Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. 14-295457, 14-295560 ________________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement in two separate cases involving the same victim, appellant David James Brown pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor offense of indecent exposure. In each case, the trial court found the evidence sufficient to find Brown guilty, but deferred further proceedings, placed Brown on community supervision for two years, and assessed a fine of $1000. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Brown’s unadjudicated community supervision in each case. In both cases, Brown pleaded “not true” to nine violations of the conditions of his community supervision. The trial court

conducted an evidentiary hearing, and in each case, the trial court found that Brown violated several conditions of his community supervision, found Brown guilty of indecent exposure, and assessed punishment at 150 days in jail. The trial court ordered that Brown’s sentences were to run concurrently.
Brown’s appellate counsel filed briefs that present counsel’s professional evaluation of the record and conclude the appeals are frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). On September 6, 2016, we granted an extension of time for Brown to file pro se briefs. We received no response from Brown in either case.
We have reviewed the appellate records, and we agree with counsel’s conclusion that no arguable issues support the appeals. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeals. Cf. Stafford v. State , 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court’s judgments of conviction. [1]
AFFIRMED.
