WILLIAM JAMES PEDDICORD,

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

_________________________________

FROM THE 108TH DISTRICT COURT OF POTTER COUNTY;

NO. 48,220-E; HON. ABE LOPEZ, PRESIDING
_______________________________

ON ABATEMENT AND REMAND
_______________________________

Before QUINN, REAVIS, and CAMPBELL, JJ.
	Appellant William James Peddicord appeals his conviction for possessing a
controlled substance.  In reviewing the Anders brief filed by counsel for appellant, we
discovered that although there appears in the record a document entitled "Trial Court's
Certification of Defendant's Right of Appeal," it was not fully executed.  That is, the trial
court did not designate in it whether appellant had any right to appeal.  
	Applicable rule of procedure mandates that the trial court's certification of the
defendant's right of appeal be included in the record, which certification may be added by
amendment, supplement, or order of this court.  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
 We, therefore, abate this appeal and remand the cause to the trial court and direct
it to certify, through written order, whether appellant has the right of appeal.  Furthermore,
the trial court shall cause the written order manifesting its decision to be included in a
supplemental clerk's record.  If any hearing is held on the matter, it shall be transcribed,
which transcription the trial court shall cause to be included in a supplemental reporter's
record.  So too is the trial court directed to cause both the supplemental clerk's and
reporter's records to be filed with the Clerk of this Court on or before Friday, September
24, 2004.  Should the trial court require more time to comply with the directions of this
Court, it must request an extension prior to September 24, 2004.  
	Accordingly, the appeal is abated and the cause is remanded for further
proceedings.

TIMOTHY MICHAEL KNOOP, 
 
                                                                                         Appellant

v.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
 

                                                                                         Appellee
_____________________________
 
FROM THE 31ST DISTRICT COURT OF HEMPHILL COUNTY;
 
NO. 2731; HONORABLE STEVEN RAY EMMERT, PRESIDING
 

 
Anders Opinion
 

 
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
            Timothy Michael Knoop was convicted
on June 11, 2008, of assaulting a public servant after his plea of guilty and,
pursuant to a plea bargain, sentenced to confinement for seven years and a fine
of $3,000, probated for seven years. 
Thereafter, on November 6, 2008, the State filed a motion to revoke
appellants probation and alleged that he committed numerous violations of the
terms of his probation.  An amended
motion to revoke was filed on March 9, 2009. 
After a hearing, the trial court revoked appellants probation and
sentenced him to seven years confinement. 

            Appellants appointed counsel has
filed a motion to withdraw, together with an Anders1 brief, wherein he certifies that,
after diligently reviewing the record, he has concluded that appellants appeal
is without merit.  Along with his brief,
he has filed a copy of a letter sent to appellant informing him of counsels
belief that there was no reversible error and of appellants right to appeal pro
se.  By letter dated March 11, 2010,
this court notified appellant of his right to file his own brief or response by
April 9, 2010, if he wished to do so. 
Appellant filed his response on March 18, 2010.
            In
compliance with the principles enunciated in Anders, appellate counsel
discussed several potential areas for appeal. 
They involve 1) the entry of two nunc
pro tunc judgments without notice to appellant or
opportunity to be heard, 2) the sufficiency of the evidence to show that he
violated the condition of his probation that he maintain steady employment, 3)
the sufficiency of the evidence to show that he is able to pay court costs,
fines, and probation fees, 4) the trial courts overruling of appellants
motion for the discovery of an alleged video of his original offense, and 5) the
trial counsels failure to cross-examine two of the States witnesses.  However, counsel has explained why each
argument lacks merit.  
            Appellant
himself also raised several issues attempting to rebut the evidence admitted at
the hearing, challenging the trial courts alleged modification of the
conditions of his probation and imposition of a requirement for payment of
court costs without notice to him, and challenging the sufficiency of the
evidence to show his ability to pay fees imposed upon him.       
            We
also have conducted our own review of the record to assess the accuracy of
appellate counsels conclusions and the issues of appellant and to uncover any
reversible error pursuant to Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1991).  We did so knowing that
the violation of any one condition is sufficient to support the revocation of
probation.  Moore v.
State, 605 S.W.2d. 924, 926 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980).  And, if we were to exclude those complaints
pertaining to the trial courts entry of nunc pro tunc judgments (in order to conform
the judgment to the trial courts oral pronouncements made at time of
sentencing) and appellants ability to pay his fines and fees, we nonetheless
conclude that the evidence establishes the violation of other conditions of his
probation.  Thus, the trial court did not
err in revoking probation.  Simply put, our
own review of the record confirms appellate counsels representation that the
appeal is meritless.2
            Accordingly, appellants appeal is
dismissed.[3]

                2Our
disposition of this matter precludes the necessity for us to rule upon the
States motion for an extension of time to file a brief.  

[3]Appellant
has the right to file a pro se petition for discretionary review from
this opinion.
