TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-10-00694-CR
Lasaro Cortez, Jr., Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 63990, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Lasaro Cortez was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision
after he pleaded guilty to possessing more than one gram of cocaine with intent to deliver and true
to a previous felony conviction alleged for enhancement. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann.
§ 481.112(a), (c) (West 2010). The State later moved to adjudicate, alleging two violations of the
conditions of supervision. Following a hearing, the trial court found the allegations to be true,
adjudged appellant guilty, and imposed a fourteen-year prison sentence.
In his only issue on appeal, appellant contends that the evidence does not support the
court’s order that he pay $565 in attorney’s fees. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 26.05(g)
(West Supp. 2010); Mayer v. State, 309 S.W.3d 552, 556-57 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010). The State
concedes that there is no evidence of a material change in appellant’s financial status subsequent to
his being found indigent.
The issue is sustained. The judgment of conviction is modified to delete the order
that appellant pay $565 in attorney’s fees. As modified, the judgment is affirmed.
