Opinion


Robert Paul Newton appeals the trial court's order revoking his community supervision. The trial court originally convicted appellant, upon his plea of guilty, of the offense of intoxicated assault and assessed his punishment at confinement for 10 years and a $2,500 fine. Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, the trial court suspended the imposition of the sentence and placed appellant on community supervision for 10 years. At the hearing on the State's motion to revoke, appellant entered pleas of true to four allegations that he violated the terms and conditions of his community supervision. The trial court found the allegations to be true, revoked appellant's community supervision, and imposed a sentence of confinement for 10 years. A fine was not imposed. 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 he 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.Cr.App. 1991); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Cr.App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex.Cr.App. 1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Cr.App. 1969); Eaden v. State, 161 S.W.3d 173 (Tex.App.-Eastland 2005, no pet'n). 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.Cr.App. 1980); Taylor v. State, 604 S.W.2d 175 (Tex.Cr.App. 1980); Moses v. State, 590 S.W.2d 469 (Tex.Cr.App. 1979). Further, a plea of true alone is sufficient to support the trial court's determination to revoke. Moses v. State, supra; Cole v. State, 578 S.W.2d 127 (Tex.Cr.App. 1979). The motion to withdraw is granted, and the judgment is affirmed.
