MOHAMMAD MOWAFAC JABRI, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 248th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1093067

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

After a guilty plea, appellant was convicted of the offense of aggravated assault. On September 7, 2007, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for eight years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

On March 13, 2008, this court ordered a hearing to determine why appellant=s counsel had not filed a brief in this appeal.  On April 4, 2008, the court reporter advised this court that no hearing was conducted because appellant had forfeited his bond in December 2007 and a warrant had been issued for his arrest.  On June 6, 2008, a supplemental clerk=s record was filed containing the trial judge=s findings of fact and conclusions of law.  The trial judge found that appellant had made no arrangements to pay for a record, had forfeited his bond, and had failed to appear in court as ordered on December 7, 2007.  Accordingly, the trial judge concluded that appellant is not interested in pursuing this appeal.

On the basis of those findings, this court has considered the appeal without briefs.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b).

The case is before us without a reporter=s record or bill of exception.

We find no fundamental error.

Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
