IN THE
                         TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

                                No. 10-14-00017-CR

CESAR MANAEN DOSKOCIL,
                                                           Appellant
v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                                           Appellee

                           From the 18th District Court
                             Johnson County, Texas
                              Trial Court No. F41951

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      In 2008, Cesar Manaen Doskocil pled guilty to three counts of aggravated sexual

assault of a child and was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for a

period of 10 years. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.021(a)(2)(B) (West Supp. 2013). The

State filed an amended motion to adjudicate Doskocil in 2013, alleging nine violations of

his community supervision. Doskocil pled true to four of those violations, and after a

contested hearing, the trial court revoked Doskocil’s deferred adjudication community

supervision. Because Doskocil cannot now raise an issue relating to the underlying plea
proceeding and because Doskocil pled true to four alleged violations of his community

supervision, the trial court’s judgment is affirmed.

        Doskocil first complains that the trial court did not admonish him regarding the

consequences of being placed on deferred adjudication when Doskocil originally pled

guilty. A defendant placed on deferred adjudication community supervision may raise

issues relating to the original plea proceeding only in appeals taken when deferred

adjudication community supervision is first imposed. Manuel v. State, 994 S.W.2d 658,

661-662 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999). See also Perez v. State, 424 S.W.3d 81, 85 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2014) (court costs); Wiley v. State, 410 S.W.3d 313, 318 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013)

(attorney’s fees). Doskocil was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision

on March 7, 2008. He did not appeal.1 Accordingly, Doskocil may not now raise an

issue regarding the original plea proceeding in this appeal, and his first issue is

overruled.

        Doskocil next complains about the trial court’s finding of true to each violation of

deferred adjudication community supervision alleged by the State. Doskocil pled true

to four of the State’s nine alleged violations of community supervision. An appellant's

plea of true, standing alone, is sufficient to support the revocation of community

1Further, he waived his right to appeal; and, because he pled guilty, the trial court certified that Doskocil
had no right to appeal.

supervision. Cole v. State, 578 S.W.2d 127, 128 (Tex. Crim. App. 1979). Accordingly,

Doskocil’s issues two through ten are overruled.2

        Having overruled each issue on appeal, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

2 In each of these issues, Doskocil also asserts that the State was proceeding only on Count 1 of the
underlying judgment and, therefore, the trial court erred in revoking Doskocil’s community supervision
as to Counts 3 and 4. Doskocil’s assertion is without merit. The record indicates that the State’s amended
motion to proceed indicates that revocation is being pursued in “CAUSE NO. F41951 COUNTS 1, 3, 4.”
Further, immediately prior to the hearing on the State’s amended motion to revoke, the State made it
clear to Doskocil’s counsel that the motion covered Counts 1, 3, and 4. After the clarification, Doskocil
pled true to four of the nine violations alleged by the State.
