On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 20-34,902 __________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In an open plea, appellant Dylan Paul Tice pleaded guilty to the offense of
violation of a protective order with previous convictions, a third-degree felony. See
Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 25.07(g)(2). After conducting a sentencing hearing, the trial
court found Tice guilty of the offense of violation of a protective order with previous
convictions and assessed Tice’s punishment at six years of confinement.
Tice’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 July 27, 2022, we granted an extension of time for Tice to file
a pro se brief. We received no response from Tice.
We have independently reviewed the appellate record, and we agree with
counsel’s conclusion that no arguable issues support the appeal. See Anders, 386
U.S. at 744. 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.
