TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-10-00716-CR Julian Beltran Sr., Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 4 OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-DC-06-907070, HONORABLE MIKE DENTON, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Julian Beltran Sr. pleaded guilty to assault with family violence. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.01 (West Supp. 2010). Thereafter, on February 7, 2007, the trial court deferred adjudication and placed appellant on community supervision for three years. The State subsequently filed three motions to adjudicate. Following hearings on the first two motions, the court continued appellant s supervision but modified the conditions and extended the term of supervision to August 20, 2010. The third motion to adjudicate was filed on May 18, 2010 and alleged nine violations of appellant s community supervision. Following a hearing, the court found five of the alleged violations to be true, adjudged appellant guilty, and imposed a four-year prison sentence. Appellant s court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw supported by a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). Appellant received a copy of counsel s brief and was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744. No pro se brief has been filed. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. See Garner v. State, 300 S.W.3d 763, 766 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009); Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We agree with counsel that the appeal is frivolous. Counsel s motion to withdraw is granted. Counsel has drawn our attention to a clerical error in the trial court s judgment. The judgment erroneously recites that the court found all nine of the alleged violations to be true, when in fact the court made no findings as to four of the allegations. To conform to the trial court s actual findings, the judgment is modified to delete the findings that appellant: ¢ failed to work faithfully at suitable employment as far as possible; ¢ failed to pay court costs and is delinquent $7.71; ¢ failed to pay supervision fee and is delinquent $138.84; ¢ failed to pay crime stopper fee and is delinquent $15.37. 2 As modified, the judgment of conviction is affirmed. __________________________________________ Melissa Goodwin, Justice Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Henson and Goodwin Modified and, as Modified, Affirmed Filed: June 9, 2011 Do Not Publish 3
