A jury found Charles Ray Broussard guilty of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 46.04(a)(2) (Vernon Supp. 2005). The court assessed punishment for the third degree felony offense at eight years of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 12.34 (Vernon 2003).

The brief filed by Broussard's appellate counsel concludes no arguable error is presented in this appeal. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). On March 24, 2005, we granted an extension of time for Broussard to file a pro se brief. We received no response from the appellant.

We have reviewed the entire record, and find no error that will arguably support an appeal. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeal. Compare Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). The judgment is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
