RUSSELL EARL GLUYAS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 221st District Court
Montgomery County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 06-05-04470-CR 

MEMORANDUM OPINION
	A jury found Russell Earl Gluyas guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child.  See
Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.021(a)(1)(B), (2)(B) (Vernon Supp. 2007).  The trial court
sentenced Gluyas to thirty years of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice, Correctional Institutions Division. 
	On appeal, Gluyas's 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 February 21, 2008, we granted an extension of time for the
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.  Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex.
Crim. App. 2005); cf. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). 
We affirm the trial court's judgment. (1)
