Court Cause No. CR31792

This
is an appeal from a judgment revoking community supervision.  Peggy Cardona
Gonzalez was indicted for the offense of theft.  The trial court convicted her
and assessed her punishment at confinement for two years in a state jail
facility.  Pursuant to the plea bargain agreement, the trial court suspended
the imposition of the sentence and placed appellant on community supervision
for five years.  After a hearing on the State=s
amended motion to revoke, the trial court found that appellant had violated the
terms and conditions of her community supervision, revoked her community
supervision, and imposed the original  sentence of confinement for two years in
a state jail facility.  We affirm.
In
her sole issue on appeal, appellant contends that her punishment is
disproportionate to the offense and, therefore, is cruel and unusual.  We
disagree.
The
trial court assessed punishment within the range authorized by the legislature
under Tex. Penal Code Ann. '' 12.35(a), 31.03(e)(4)(D)
(Vernon Supp. 2008).  A sentence assessed within the range of punishment
established by the legislature will not be disturbed on appeal.  Jackson v.
State, 680 S.W.2d 809 (Tex. Crim. App. 1984); Bradfield v. State, 42
S.W.3d 350, 354 (Tex. App.CEastland
2001, pet. ref=d). 
Moreover, we note that the punishment assessed was the punishment appellant
agreed to in her plea bargain agreement.  The issue is overruled.
The
judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
