                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      A jury found appellant Jeffrey Andrew Bryant guilty of possession of child

pornography. The trial court assessed Bryant’s punishment as an habitual felony

offender at twenty-five years of imprisonment.

      Bryant’s appellate counsel filed a brief that presents counsel’s professional

evaluation of the record and concludes the appeal is frivolous. See Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App.
1978). On June 11, 2018, we granted an extension of time for Bryant to file a pro se

brief. We received no response from Bryant.

      We reviewed the appellate record, and we agree with counsel’s conclusion

that no arguable issues support an 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.
