                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

      A jury convicted Lewis Bookman Jr. of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The trial court sentenced him to seventeen years in prison. Bookman’s appellate counsel

filed a brief that presents counsel’s professional evaluation of the record. Counsel

concludes there are no arguable points of error. 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). This Court granted an extension of time for appellant to file a pro se response. We

received no response from him. We have reviewed the appellate record and agree with

counsel’s conclusion. It is unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief

                                            1
the appeal. Compare Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). The

trial court’s judgment is affirmed.

       AFFIRMED.
