<P ALIGN="CENTER">MEMORANDUM OPINION<A HREF="#N_1_"><SUP> (1)</SUP></A></P> 

 

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Arial">	Appellant James Ray Barrow appeals the revocation of his community supervision. 

We affirm the revocation. </SPAN></P> 

 

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Arial">	On his plea of guilty, appellant was convicted on May 23, 2000, of the offense of 

delivery of cocaine. In accordance with his plea agreement, he was sentenced by the trial 

court to 10 years confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of 

Criminal Justice and a $1,000 fine, the trial court suspending the period of confinement 

and placing appellant on community supervision for ten years.  </SPAN></P> 

 

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Arial">	The State filed a motion to revoke appellant's community supervision on November 

3, 2001, alleging violation of six of its conditions. The violations alleged included failing 

to report, failing to maintain employment, failing to pay required fees and costs, failing to 

perform community service, failing to submit to drug and alcohol testing, and failing to pay 

a "Crime Stoppers" fee.  At a January 9, 2002, hearing on the motion, appellant pled true 

to each of the six violations. On being questioned by the trial court, appellant stated that 

he understood the potential consequences of his plea and that he had not been promised 

anything in exchange for his plea.  A written stipulation of evidence signed and sworn to 

by appellant, stating that he had committed each of the violations alleged by the State, was 

admitted in evidence. The appellant also took the stand and testified at the hearing. He 

asked the court to continue his community supervision, adding participation in a restitution 

center as a condition of it.</SPAN></P> 

 

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Arial">	The State presented the testimony of appellant's community supervision officer. At 

the conclusion of the hearing, the trial court found each of the State's allegations true, 

revoked appellant's community supervision, and sentenced him to 10 years confinement 

in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant timely 

filed a notice of appeal.</SPAN></P> 

 

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Arial">	Appellant's counsel has filed a brief stating that he has carefully examined the 

record and researched the law, and is unable to find a meritorious error to argue to this 

Court. The brief thoroughly discusses the evidence presented at the hearing on the motion 

to revoke. Counsel concludes that there is no reversible error in this case, and that the 

appeal is frivolous. <EM>See Anders v. California</EM>, 386 U.S. 738, 744-45, 87 S.Ct.1396, 18 

L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Nevertheless, citing <EM>Currie v. State</EM>, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex.Crim.App. 

1974), counsel presents a single point presenting the question whether the evidence 

before the trial court was legally and factually sufficient to permit the court to find that 

appellant violated the terms and conditions of his community supervision.  Counsel also 

has filed a motion to withdraw and by letter informed appellant of his rights to review the 

trial record and to file a pro se brief.  <EM>See Johnson v. State</EM>, 885 S.W.2d 641 

(Tex.App.--Waco 1994, pet. ref'd).  By letter dated July 9, 2002, this Court also notified 

appellant of his opportunity to submit a response to the <EM>Anders</EM> brief and motion to 

withdraw filed by his counsel, granting him until August 12, 2002, to do so. This court's 

letter also reminded appellant to contact his counsel if he needed to review any part of the 

appellate record to prepare a response. Appellant has not filed a brief or other response.</SPAN></P> 

 

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Arial">	In conformity with the standards set out by the United States Supreme Court, we will 

not rule on the motion to withdraw until we have independently examined the record. 

<EM>Nichols v. State</EM>, 954 S.W.2d 83, 86 (Tex.App.--San Antonio 1997, no pet.).  If this court 

determines the appeal has merit, we will remand it to the trial court for appointment of new 

counsel.  <EM>See Stafford v. State</EM>, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991).  </SPAN></P> 

 

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Arial">	Appellate review of a revocation order is limited to determining whether the trial 

court abused its discretion.  <EM>Cardona v. State</EM>, 665 S.W.2d 492, 493 (Tex.Crim.App. 1984); 

<EM>Jackson v. State</EM>, 645 S.W.2d 303, 305 (Tex.Crim.App. 1983). The trial court abuses its 

discretion in revoking community supervision if the State fails to meet its burden of proof.  

<EM>Cardona</EM>, 665 S.W.2d at 494.  </SPAN></P> 

 

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Arial">	In a revocation proceeding, the State must prove by a preponderance of the 

evidence that appellant violated a condition of community supervision as alleged in the 

motion to revoke.  <EM>Cobb v. State</EM>, 851 S.W.2d 871, 874 (Tex.Crim.App. 1993). The trial 

judge in such a proceeding is the sole trier of the facts. <EM>Taylor v. State</EM>, 604 S.W.2d 175, 

179 (Tex.Crim.App. 1980). A defendant's plea of true to an alleged violation, standing 

alone, is sufficient to support the revocation. <EM>Moses v. State</EM>, 590 S.W.2d 469, 470 

(Tex.Crim.App. 1979). </SPAN></P> 

 

<P><A HREF="/cgi-bin/content/showpage.pl?direction=JUMPCITE&cgisite=/cgi-bin/content&dbfile=FT30&State=TEXAS&jumps=2&account=JAMES.CAMPBELL/"></A><A HREF="/cgi-bin/content/showpage.pl?direction=JUMPCITE&cgisite=/cgi-bin/content&dbfile=FT30&State=TEXAS&jumps=2&account=JAMES.CAMPBELL/">	In determining the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain a revocation, we view the 

evidence in the light most favorable to the trial court's ruling.<A HREF="#N_2_"><SUP> (2)</SUP></A>  <EM>Jones v. State</EM>, 589 S.W.2d 

419, 421 (Tex.Crim.App. 1979). Appellant's pleas of true to all six alleged violations of the 

conditions of his community supervision and the stipulation of evidence amply support the 

court's judgment and there is nothing in the record to suggest that appellant was 

incompetent or that his pleas and stipulation were not made knowingly, voluntarily or 

intelligently. The record contains some evidence in mitigation of some of appellant's 

violations, but when, as here, more than one violation is alleged, proof of any one of them 

is sufficient to support the revocation.  <EM>Moore v. State</EM>, 605 S.W.2d 924, 926 

(Tex.Crim.App. 1980); <EM>Gobell v. State</EM>, 528 S.W.2d 223 (Tex.Crim.App. 1975); <EM>McCollum 

v. State</EM>, 784 S.W.2d 702, 704-05 (Tex.App.--Houston [14th Dist.] 1990, pet. ref'd).</SPAN></P> 

 

<P><A HREF="  "></A><A></A><A></A><A></A><A></A><A></A><A></A><A></A><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Arial"> 	Our review convinces us that appellate counsel conducted a diligent and 

conscientious review of the record. We have also made an independent examination of 

the entire record to determine whether there are any arguable grounds which might 

support the appeal.<A HREF="#N_3_"><SUP> (3)</SUP></A>  <EM>See Stafford, </EM>813 S.W.2d at 511.  We agree it presents no 

meritorious grounds for review. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in revoking 

appellant's community supervision. We overrule the point considered by appellant's 

counsel, grant counsel's motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment of the trial court.</SPAN></P>

<P><A NAME="N_1_">1. </A> Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. 

<P><A NAME="N_2_">2. </A>In his brief, appellant's counsel cites the standard set forth in <EM>Clewis v. State</EM>, 922 

S.W.2d 126 (Tex.Crim.App. 1996) as the standard to be applied to a review of the factual 

sufficiency of the State's evidence in support of revocation. Like other courts of appeals 

who have considered the question, <EM>see Becker v. State</EM>, 33 S.W.3d 64 (Tex.App.--El Paso, 

2000, no pet.), we have not applied <EM>Clewis</EM> to community supervision revocations. We 

note, though, that even under that standard, the trial court's judgment would be sustained, 

as it is not so contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence as to be clearly wrong 

and unjust. <EM>Clewis</EM>, 922 S.W.2d at 129.  

<P><A NAME="N_3_">3. </A>Our review is limited, though, to any issues related to revocation of appellant's 

community supervision.  Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 42.12 23(b); <EM>see Manuel v. State</EM>, 994 

S.W.2d 658, 661-62 (Tex.Crim.App. 1999).
