MEMORANDUM OPINION

In two proceedings before the trial court, appellant Aaron D. Traylor ⁽¹⁾ was indicted for possession of a controlled substance. Pursuant to plea bargains, Traylor pled guilty, and the trial court assessed punishment in each case at two years of confinement in a state jail facility. In each case, the trial court suspended imposition of sentence, placed Traylor on community supervision for four years, and assessed a $750 fine. The State filed motions to revoke Traylor's community supervision in each case. In each case, Traylor pled "true" to two violations of the terms of his community supervision. The trial court found that Traylor violated the terms of his community supervision orders, revoked Traylor's community supervision, and imposed a sentence of two years of confinement in a state jail facility in each case.

Traylor's counsel filed briefs that present counsel's professional evaluation of the record and conclude the appeals are frivolous. 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). On June 14, 2007, we granted an extension of time for appellant to file pro se briefs. We received no response from the appellant.

We reviewed the appellate records, and we agree with counsel's conclusion that no arguable issues support the appeals. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeals. Compare Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court's judgment. ⁽²⁾

AFFIRMED.
