TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-10-00245-CR

                                   Antwan Tolbert, Appellant

                                                 v.

                                  The State of Texas, Appellee

              FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 4 OF TRAVIS COUNTY
         NO. D-1-DC-07-907771, HONORABLE MIKE DENTON, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant Antwan Tolbert’s court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the

appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are

no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State,

573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974);

Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.

Crim. App. 1969). Tolbert received a copy of counsel’s brief and was advised of his right to

examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.

               We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous

and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. See
Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Counsel’s motion to withdraw

is granted.

               We note, however, that the judgment of conviction contains a clerical error. The

judgment includes a finding that Tolbert violated the conditions of his community supervision as

alleged in the State’s motion to revoke community supervision by failing to avoid the use of

controlled substances or dangerous drugs, failing to report to a community supervision officer on

June 11, 2009, December 21, 2009, January 27, 2010, February 17, 2010, and February 24, 2010,

changing residence without permission and without reporting the change to a community supervision

officer, failing to complete 100 hours of community service restitution, and failing to complete a

family violence assessment. On the record at the adjudication hearing, however, the State abandoned

its allegations related to the use of controlled substances or dangerous drugs and failure to report

on June 11, 2009, and proceeded on the remaining grounds alleged in its motion.

               We modify the judgment of conviction to correct this clerical error. See Traylor

v. State, No. 09-09-00384-CR, 2010 Tex. App. LEXIS 4749, at *2 (Tex. App.—Beaumont

June 23, 2010, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (correcting clerical error in

judgment before affirming conviction in frivolous appeal under Anders); Tillman v. State, No. 14-08-

00053-CR, 2008 Tex. App. LEXIS 7882, at *4 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Oct. 16, 2008, pet.

ref’d) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (same); see also Johnson v. State, No. 05-07-

01004-CR, 2008 Tex. App. LEXIS 2148, at *3-4 (Tex. App.—Dallas Mar. 26, 2008, pet. ref’d) (not

designated for publication) (modifying judgment to delete finding that appellant had violated

community supervision on ground that had been abandoned by State at adjudication hearing). The

                                                 2
judgment is modified to delete the language stating that Tolbert violated the terms and conditions

of his community supervision by (1) failing to avoid the use of controlled substances or dangerous

drugs, and (2) failing to report to a community supervision officer on June 11, 2009.

               The judgment of conviction is affirmed as modified.
