                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      A jury found appellant Brad Elliott Williams guilty of aggravated robbery and

assessed punishment as a prior felony offender at twenty-seven years of

imprisonment and a $200 fine.

      Williams’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. Crim. App.
                                         1
1978). On October 21, 2019, we granted an extension of time for Williams to file a

pro se brief. We received no response from Williams.

      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. Cf. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d
503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court’s judgment.1

      AFFIRMED.
