NO. 48,220-E; HON. ABE LOPEZ, PRESIDING _______________________________
ON ABATEMENT AND REMAND _______________________________
Before QUINN, REAVIS, and CAMPBELL, JJ.
Appellant William James Peddicord appeals his conviction for possessing a controlled substance. In reviewing the Anders brief filed by counsel for appellant, we discovered that although there appears in the record a document entitled "Trial Court's Certification of Defendant's Right of Appeal," it was not fully executed. That is, the trial court did not designate in it whether appellant had any right to appeal.
Applicable rule of procedure mandates that the trial court's certification of the defendant's right of appeal be included in the record, which certification may be added by amendment, supplement, or order of this court. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
We, therefore, abate this appeal and remand the cause to the trial court and direct it to certify, through written order, whether appellant has the right of appeal. Furthermore, the trial court shall cause the written order manifesting its decision to be included in a supplemental clerk's record. If any hearing is held on the matter, it shall be transcribed, which transcription the trial court shall cause to be included in a supplemental reporter's record. So too is the trial court directed to cause both the supplemental clerk's and reporter's records to be filed with the Clerk of this Court on or before Friday, September 24, 2004. Should the trial court require more time to comply with the directions of this Court, it must request an extension prior to September 24, 2004.
Accordingly, the appeal is abated and the cause is remanded for further proceedings.

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

TIMOTHY MICHAEL KNOOP,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
_____________________________
FROM THE 31ST DISTRICT COURT OF HEMPHILL COUNTY;
NO. 2731; HONORABLE STEVEN RAY EMMERT, PRESIDING
Anders Opinion
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
Timothy Michael Knoop was convicted on June 11, 2008, of assaulting a public servant after his plea of guilty and, pursuant to a plea bargain, sentenced to confinement for seven years and a fine of $3,000, probated for seven years. Thereafter, on November 6, 2008, the State filed a motion to revoke appellants probation and alleged that he committed numerous violations of the terms of his probation. An amended motion to revoke was filed on March 9, 2009. After a hearing, the trial court revoked appellants probation and sentenced him to seven years confinement.
Appellants appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw, together with an Anders1 brief, wherein he certifies that, after diligently reviewing the record, he has concluded that appellants appeal is without merit. Along with his brief, he has filed a copy of a letter sent to appellant informing him of counsels belief that there was no reversible error and of appellants right to appeal pro se. By letter dated March 11, 2010, this court notified appellant of his right to file his own brief or response by April 9, 2010, if he wished to do so. Appellant filed his response on March 18, 2010.
In compliance with the principles enunciated in Anders, appellate counsel discussed several potential areas for appeal. They involve 1) the entry of two nunc pro tunc judgments without notice to appellant or opportunity to be heard, 2) the sufficiency of the evidence to show that he violated the condition of his probation that he maintain steady employment, 3) the sufficiency of the evidence to show that he is able to pay court costs, fines, and probation fees, 4) the trial courts overruling of appellants motion for the discovery of an alleged video of his original offense, and 5) the trial counsels failure to cross-examine two of the States witnesses. However, counsel has explained why each argument lacks merit.
Appellant himself also raised several issues attempting to rebut the evidence admitted at the hearing, challenging the trial courts alleged modification of the conditions of his probation and imposition of a requirement for payment of court costs without notice to him, and challenging the sufficiency of the evidence to show his ability to pay fees imposed upon him.
We also have conducted our own review of the record to assess the accuracy of appellate counsels conclusions and the issues of appellant and to uncover any reversible error pursuant to Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We did so knowing that the violation of any one condition is sufficient to support the revocation of probation. Moore v. State, 605 S.W.2d. 924, 926 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980). And, if we were to exclude those complaints pertaining to the trial courts entry of nunc pro tunc judgments (in order to conform the judgment to the trial courts oral pronouncements made at time of sentencing) and appellants ability to pay his fines and fees, we nonetheless conclude that the evidence establishes the violation of other conditions of his probation. Thus, the trial court did not err in revoking probation. Simply put, our own review of the record confirms appellate counsels representation that the appeal is meritless.2
Accordingly, appellants appeal is dismissed.[3]
