MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an appeal from a judgment adjudicating guilt. Robert Lee Welch originally entered a plea of guilty to the offense of sexual assault of a child. Pursuant to the plea bargain agreement, the trial court deferred the adjudication of appellant's guilt, placed him on community supervision for ten years, and assessed a $1,000 fine. At the hearing on the State's motion to adjudicate, appellant entered pleas of true to the 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, adjudicated his guilt, and assessed his punishment at confinement for fifteen years. 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); In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403 (Tex.Crim.App. 2008); 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.-Eastland 2005, no pet.). Following the procedures outlined in Anders, we have independently reviewed the record, and we agree that the appeal is without merit. A plea of true alone is sufficient to support the trial court's determination to revoke. Moses v. State, 590 S.W.2d 469 (Tex.Crim.App. 1979); Cole v. State, 578 S.W.2d 127, 128 (Tex .Crim. App. 1979). We 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.-Eastland 2007, no pet.). The motion to withdraw is granted, and the judgment is affirmed.
