               On Appeal from the 356th District Court

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      In an open plea, appellant Wesley Jacob Jones pleaded guilty to the offense

of repeated violation of court order or condition of bond. See Tex. Penal Code Ann.

§ 25.072. After conducting a sentencing hearing, the trial court found Jones guilty

of the offense of repeated violation of court order or condition of bond and assessed

Jones’s punishment at five years of confinement.

      Jones’s appellate counsel filed an Anders brief that presents counsel’s

professional evaluation of the record and concludes that the appeal is frivolous. See

                                         1
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.

Crim. App. 1978). On April 27, 2022, we granted an extension of time for Jones to

file a pro se brief. We received no response from Jones.

       We have independently reviewed the appellate record, and we agree with

counsel’s conclusion that no arguable issues support the appeal. See id. 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.
