### IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10 - 12 - 00259 - CR SAM WILEY, JR. , Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS , Appellee

From the 54th District Court McLennan County, Texas Trial Court No. 2011 - 207 - C2
O P I N I O N Sam Wiley, Jr. was convicted of the offense of hindering apprehension and sentenced to eight years in prison and a $1,000 fine; however, that sentence was suspended and Wiley was placed on community supervision for a period of eight years.
T EX
. P EN
. C ODE A NN . § 38.05 (West 2011). One of the terms of his community supervision required Wiley to reimburse McLennan County for the cost of his court

appointed attorney in the amount of $400. The State later filed a motion to revoke his community supervision and the trial court found that Wiley had viola ted the terms andWiley v. State Page 2

conditions of his community supervision, revoked his community supervision, and sentenced him to eight years in prison and a $1,000 fine. The judgment from the revocation assessed attorney's fees against Wiley in the amount of $800, whic h included the prior assessment from when he was placed on community supervision and a second assessment of $400 for the attorney's fees assessed for the revocation proceedings. Wiley complains that the evidence was insufficient for the trial court to hav e assessed the entire amount of the attorney's fees pursuant to Mayer v. State. Mayer v. State , 309 S.W.3d 552 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010). The State again concedes that the evidence was insufficient to support the assessment of the attorney's fees for the re vocation of Wiley's community supervision but not for the attorney's fees assessed at the time of the imposition of the community supervision. 1 We agree that the evidence was insufficient for the second assessment of the $400 in attorney's fees at the tim e of the revocation of Wiley's community supervision. However, as to the first assessment, we have previously determined that a complaint regarding the assessment of attorney's fees as a condition of community supervision must be raised at the time the condition was imposed. See Price v. State , No.

We will follow our recent decision in Price and find that bec ause Wiley did not complain about the assessment of the original $400 in attorney's fees when his community supervision was imposed, he has waived that complaint. Id . Wiley’s sole issue is sustained in part and overruled in part. Conclusion The evidence was insufficient for the trial court to have assessed the attorney’s fees incurred by Wiley's revocation attorney in the judgment revoking Wiley'sWiley v. State Page 4

probation; however, the complaint regarding the attorney's fees assessed from the judgment placing Wiley on community supervision was waived. Therefore, the judgment of the trial court is reversed in part as to the issue of the assessment of the court appointed attorney's fees and this proceeding is remanded to the trial court for the entry of a new judgment in accordance with this opinion.
