JAMAL LEMEL RODGERS a/k/a JAMAL LEMEL BLUITT

a/k/a JAMAL LAMEL BLUITT, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the Criminal District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 89519




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Jamal Lemel Rodgers a/k/a Jamal Lemel Bluitt a/k/a Jamal Lamel Bluitt pled no contest to an indictment for credit card abuse. The trial court admonished Rodgers. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 26.13 (Vernon 2009). Rodgers signed a judicial confession. The trial court convicted Rodgers and assessed punishment at one year of confinement in a state jail facility, then suspended imposition of sentence, and placed Rodgers on community supervision for two years. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke Rodgers's community supervision. Rodgers pled "true" to four violations of the terms of the community supervision order. The trial court found that Rodgers violated the terms of the community supervision order, revoked Rodgers's community supervision, and imposed a sentence of nine months of confinement in a state jail facility.

The trial court appointed counsel to represent Rodgers in this appeal. On August 6, 2009, after informing the parties that Rodgers had not filed a brief, we ordered the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine whether Rodgers desired to prosecute his appeal. On August 28, 2009, the trial court conducted the requested hearing, and the supplemental reporter's record of the hearing was filed August 31, 2009. Appellant's counsel appeared at the hearing, but appellant did not, and the trial court found that the appellant does not desire to continue the appeal. Upon receiving the supplemental clerk's and reporter's records, we reinstated the appeal and submitted the appeal without briefs. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(4).

We have examined the record for fundamental error, and we find none. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's judgment.

AFFIRMED.
