                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Stevi Louise-Guest Cooper appeals her conviction on her plea of guilty to

third-degree felony theft. After accepting Cooper’s plea, the trial court sentenced

Cooper to eight years of confinement. Cooper’s appellate counsel filed a brief that

presents counsel’s professional evaluation of the record and concludes the appeal is

“wholly without merit.” 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). We

granted an extension of time for appellant to file a pro se response, but received no

                                         1
response from appellant. Having reviewed the appellate record, we agree with

counsel’s conclusion that no arguable issues support an appeal. It is unnecessary to

order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeal. Compare Stafford v. State,

813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). The trial court’s judgment is

affirmed.

      AFFIRMED.
