ROBERT CHRISTOPHER YOUNG, Appellant

V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 276th District Court Marion County, Texas Trial Court No. F14829

Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss2 

### MEMORANDUM OPINION In 2016, Robert Christopher Young pled guilty to, and was convicted of, family violence assault causing bodily injury, with one prior family violence assault. Pursuant to a plea agreement, Young ’ s eight

- year sentence was suspended, and he was placed on community supervision for five years. On October 2, 2017, Young ’ s community supervision was revoked , and he was sentenced to eight years ’ imprisonment. Young ’ s appellate attorney filed a brief setting out the procedural history of the case , summarizing the evidence elicited during t he course of the trial court proceedings, and concluding that the appellate record presents no arguable grounds to be raised on appeal. Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California , and has provided a n evaluation of the record explaining why he believes there are no plausible appellate issues to be advanced. See Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738, 743

– 44 (1967); In re Schulman , 252 S.W.3d 403, 406 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (orig. proceeding); Stafford v. State , 813 S.W.2d 503, 509

– 10 (Tex. Crim . App. 1991); High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807, 812

– 13 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel also filed a motion with this Court seeking to withdraw as counsel in this appeal. Counsel sent a copy of the brief to Young , provided him with a copy of the record, and
advised Young of his right to review the record and file a pro se response. On January 22, 2018, we granted Young ’ s pro se motion for extension of time to file his brief, extend ing the time to file
it until February 21, 2018. Young has f iled n either a pro se response n or a second motion requesting an extension of time in which to file such a response.3

We have reviewed the entire appellate record and have independently determined that no reversible error exists. Yet, in Anders cases, appellat e courts “ have the authority to reform judgments and affirm as modif ied in cases where there is non

- reversible error. ” Ferguson v. State , 435 S.W.3d 291, 294 (Tex. App.

— Waco 2014, pet. struck) (comprehensively discussing appellate
cases that have modified judgments in Anders cases). Here, non
- reversible error is found in the
trial court ’ s assessment of attorney fees to cover the costs of Young ’ s court

- appointed counsel
related to the revocation

. The trial court ’ s judgment revoking community supervision ord ered Young to pay $350 .00
in attorney fees for court

- appointed counsel. Under Article 26.05(g) of the Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure , a trial court has the authority to order the reimbursement of court

- appointed attorney fees only if “ the court determin es that a defendant has financial resources that enable him to offset in part or in whole the costs of the legal services provided, including any expenses and costs. ” T EX

. art. 26.05(g) (West Supp. 2017 ). “ [T]he defendant ’ s financial resources and ability to pay are explicit critical elements in the trial court ’ s determination of the propriety of ordering reimbursement of costs and fees ” of legal services provided. Armstrong v. State , 340 S.W.3d 759, 765

– 66 (Tex. Crim. App. 2011) (quo ting Mayer v. State , 309 S.W.3d 552, 556 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010) ).
The record contains a bill of costs with an entry denoted “ COURT APPT ATTY FEE ” and shows the total amount of $750.00. 1 The record also contains a separate finding from the trial

1 The original judgment that placed Young on community supervision ordered him to pay attorney fees in the amount of $400.00.4

court that Young wa s indigent and did not have the financial resources to pay the fees of his appointed attorney. However, the order to pay attorney fees related to the revocation is still
contained in the trial court ’ s judgment and in its bill of costs. Accordingly, we modify the trial

court ’ s judgment by delet ing the assessment of $350.00 in attorney fees

. We affirm the trial court ’ s judgment, as modified
