On Appeal from the Criminal District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. F22-40508

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, Appellant Mary Genevive Bond
(“Bond”) pleaded guilty to the state jail felony offense of fraudulent use of
identifying information. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 32.51(b)(1), (c)(1). The trial
court found Bond guilty and assessed her punishment at two years in state jail and
ordered her to pay restitution but suspended the confinement portion of Bond’s
1
sentence and placed her on community supervision for five years, with express
conditions.
Subsequently, prior to the expiration of the term of community supervision,
the State filed motions to revoke Bond’s community supervision. At the hearing on
the State’s second amended motion, Bond pleaded “true” to violating certain terms
of her community supervision order, and after hearing evidence, the trial court found
that Bond had violated the terms of her community supervision. The trial court
revoked Bond’s community supervision and sentenced her to two years in state jail.
On appeal, Bond’s appellate counsel filed an Anders 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 February 3, 2026, we notified Bond of her right to
file a pro se brief and notified her of the deadline for doing so, but we received no
response from Bond.
Upon receiving an Anders brief, this Court must conduct a full examination
of all the proceedings to determine whether the appeal is wholly frivolous. Penson
v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988) (citing Anders, 386 U.S. at 744). We have reviewed
the entire record and counsel’s brief, and we have found nothing that arguably would
support the appeal. Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827–28 (Tex. Crim. App.
2005) (“Due to the nature of Anders briefs, by indicating in the opinion that it
2
considered the issues raised in the briefs and reviewed the record for reversible error
but found none, the court of appeals met the requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 47.1.”). 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.
