TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                       NO. 03-01-00174-CR

                                  Ambrose Williams, Appellant

                                                 v.

                                   The State of Texas, Appellee

     FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF MILAM COUNTY, 20TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
        NO. 20,086-CR, HONORABLE CHARLES L. LANCE, JUDGE PRESIDING

               Williams appealed the revocation of his probation on a charge of attempted burglary

and his sentence to eight years in prison. He contended that the district court erred by denying his

request for a jury to determine his competence to stand trial. We abated this appeal and remanded

the cause for a jury to determine whether Williams was competent to participate in the hearing on the

motion to revoke his probation. We stated, “If the jury finds that he was competent, the parties will

be permitted to brief any issues relating to the finding of competence.”

               During the abatement, a jury found Williams was competent to stand trial. More than

thirty days have passed since the record of that proceeding was filed in this court. Williams has not

filed a brief regarding any issues relating to the finding of competence.
              Because his sole complaint on appeal has been addressed and its resolution supports

the judgment, we affirm the judgment.
