Before QUINN and REAVIS and CAMPBELL, JJ.

<CENTER>MEMORANDUM OPINION</CENTER>

Tobe Joe Carillo appeals the revocation of his community supervision. We affirm

the revocation.

Carillo pleaded guilty on May 2, 1996, to two counts of burglary of a habitation. The

judge of the 242nd District Court of Hale County sentenced Carillo to ten years

confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division and a

$500.00 fine on each count. The sentences were suspended and Carillo was placed on

ten years community supervision. The State filed its first motions to revoke Carillo's

community supervision in October of 1996. After a hearing, the court continued the

community supervision but required him to serve ninety days in the county jail and attend

a Daily Reporting Center Program.

The State filed its second motions to revoke Carillo's community supervision on

September 26, 2002, and on March 10, 2003, amended the motions alleging that he

violated the conditions of community supervision by committing the offenses of theft, public

intoxication, failing to report to his community supervision officer, failing to pay his

probation fees, and failing to report his arrest or detention within 24 hours.

On March 18, 2003, after a hearing, Carillo pleaded true to all the allegations

contained in the State's amended motions, except for an allegation he had committed theft.

The State deleted the allegation of theft from both motions before appellant entered his

pleas. On being questioned by the trial court, appellant stated that he understood the

potential consequences of his pleas and that he had not been promised anything in

exchange for his pleas. Written stipulations of evidence signed and sworn to by Carillo,

stating that he had committed each of the violations alleged by the State, were admitted in

evidence. He testified at the hearing and asked the court to continue his community

supervision. While on community supervision he had attended college and, at one point,

assisted the probation department by speaking to other probationers about how to comply

with the requirements of their probation. He asked the court to allow him to continue his

education and provide a home for his three-year-old son. The State presented the testimony of Carillo's community supervision officer. At the

conclusion of the hearing, the trial court found each of the State's allegations true, revoked

Carillo's community supervision, and sentenced him to ten years confinement in the

Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for both of the offenses,

with sentences to run concurrently. He timely filed a notice of appeal.

Carillo's counsel has filed a brief stating that he has carefully examined the record

and researched the law, and is unable to find a meritorious error to argue to this Court. The

brief thoroughly discusses the evidence presented at the hearing on the motion to revoke.

Counsel concludes that there is no reversible error in this case, and that the appeal is

frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744-45, 87 S.Ct.1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493

(1967). Counsel also has filed a motion to withdraw, has provided a copy of his brief to

Carillo, and by letter informed him of his rights to review the trial record and to file a pro se

brief. See Johnson v. State, 885 S.W.2d 641, 645 (Tex.App.--Waco 1994, pet. ref'd). By

letter dated July 21, 2003, this court also notified him of his opportunity to submit a

response to the Anders brief and motion to withdraw filed by his counsel, granting him until

August 18, 2003, to do so. This court's letter also reminded Carillo to contact the clerk of

this court or his counsel if he needed to review any part of the appellate record to prepare

a response. He has not filed a response.

In conformity with the standards set out by the United States Supreme Court, we will

not rule on the motion to withdraw until we have independently examined the record.

Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 86 (Tex.App.--San Antonio 1997, no pet.). If this court

determines the appeal has merit, we will remand it to the trial court for appointment of new

counsel. See Stafford v. State,
