Head Matter:
Mark WATSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. BH-353.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Nov. 14, 1986.
T. Whitney Strickland, Jr., Tallahassee, for appellant.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and John M. Koe-nig, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.

Opinion:
WIGGINTON, Judge.
We affirm the order revoking appellant's probation. Probation is terminated only by a valid order of revocation or the running of its term, and not by the mere execution of an arrest warrant for violation of probation. See section 948.06, Fla.Stat.; cf McNeill v. State, 287 So.2d 745 (Fla. 3d DCA 1974) (the issuance of a warrant assures continued jurisdiction of the trial court to revoke probation, despite the fact that the period of probation has run in the interim).
AFFIRMED.
ERVIN and BARFIELD, JJ., concur.
