MEMORANDUM OPINION

In an open plea, Isreal Treqkwaun Hunter pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery. After conducting a sentencing hearing, the trial court assessed punishment at twenty-five years of confinement.

Hunter’s appellate counsel filed an Anders brief that presents counsel’s professional evaluation of the record and concludes that the appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State; 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.

2

Crim. App. 1978). On November 25, 2019, we granted an extension of time for Hunter to file a pro se brief. We received no response from Hunter.

We reviewed the appellate record, and we agree with counsel’s conclusion that no arguable issues support the appeal. 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.
