Stephen Frederick Black appeals the revocation of his post-conviction community supervision on the ground that he was unable to comply with the conditions for which his probation was revoked due to indigence and lack of transportation. Appellant=s brief does not state a standard of review or recognized ground for reversal of a judgment, and does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to prove that he failed to comply with his probation conditions. See Tex. R. App. P. 38(h). To the extent he is challenging the factual sufficiency of the evidence supporting the revocation, his testimony that he was unable to comply with conditions does not greatly outweigh the evidence in the record that transportation was, in fact, available to him. See, e.g., Vodochodsky v. State, 158 S.W.3d 502, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Because appellant=s sole issue thus affords no basis for relief, it is overruled and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
