These
are appeals from judgments revoking community supervision.  Originally, Joshua Douglas Patteson entered
pleas of guilty to two state jail felony offenses of theft.  Plea bargain agreements were not
reached.  The trial court convicted
appellant and assessed punishment in each case at confinement for two years in
a state jail facility and a $1,000 fine. 
However, the trial court suspended the imposition of each sentence and
placed appellant on community supervision for a period five years.  At the hearing on the State=s motions to revoke, appellant entered
pleas of true to two of the State=s allegations that he violated the terms
and conditions of his community supervision. 
In each case, the trial court found the allegations to be true, revoked
appellant=s community supervision, and imposed a
sentence of confinement in a state jail facility for eighteen months.  We affirm.
Appellant=s
court-appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw.  The motion is supported by a brief in which
counsel professionally and conscientiously examines the record and applicable
law and states that counsel has concluded that the appeal is frivolous.  Counsel has provided appellant with a copy of
the brief and advised appellant of his right to review the record and file a
response to counsel=s
brief.  A response has not been
filed.  Court-appointed counsel has
complied with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); High
v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State,
516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137

(Tex. Crim. App. 1969); Eaden v. State, 161 S.W.3d 173 (Tex. App.CEastland 2005, no pet.).
Following the procedures outlined in Anders,
we have independently reviewed the record, and we agree that the appeal is
without merit.  We note that proof of one
violation of the terms and conditions of community supervision is sufficient to
support the revocation.  McDonald v.
State, 608 S.W.2d 192 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980); Taylor v. State, 604 S.W.2d 175

(Tex. Crim. App. 1980); Moses v. State, 590 S.W.2d 469 (Tex. Crim. App.
1979).  A plea of true alone is
sufficient to support the trial court=s
determination to revoke.  Moses,
590 S.W.2d at 470; Cole v. State, 578 S.W.2d 127, 128 (Tex. Crim. App.
1979).
We also note that counsel has the responsibility
to advise appellant that he may file a petition for discretionary review by the
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.  Ex
parte Owens, 206 S.W.3d 670 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).  Likewise, this court advises appellant that
he may file a petition for discretionary review pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 66. Black v. State,
217 S.W.3d 687 (Tex.
App.CEastland
2007, no pet.).
The motions to withdraw are granted, and the
judgments are affirmed.
