Freddy HATTEN, Appellant,
v.
The STATE of Texas, Appellee.
No. 06-99-00168-CR.
Court of Appeals of Texas, Texarkana.
Submitted August 6, 2002.
Decided September 20, 2002.
*161 Vernard G. Solomon, Marshall, for appellant.
Al Davis, Assistant District Attorney, Marshall, for appellee.
Before GRANT, ROSS, and CORNELIUS,[*] JJ.

OPINION
Opinion by Justice WILLIAM J. CORNELIUS (Assigned).
In a prior appeal, we reversed the trial court's judgment revoking Freddy Hatten's community supervision and remanded the cause, because we found that the trial court failed to adequately inform Hatten on the record of his right to counsel and the dangers of self-representation. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed our judgment because there is no requirement that the trial court admonish a defendant on the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation when the defendant does not contest his guilt in a misdemeanor case. Hatten pleaded true to the motion to revoke in this proceeding. See Johnson v. State, 614 S.W.2d 116 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1981) (op. on reh'g). In its opinion reversing our judgment, the Court of Criminal Appeals said, "What remains to be decided, ... is whether the waiver of right to counsel was knowing, intelligent and voluntary. That is a separate issue apart from the entitlement to admonishments under Faretta [v. California, 422 U.S. 806, 95 S.Ct. 2525, 45 L.Ed.2d 562 (1975)]." Hatten v. State, 71 S.W.3d 332, 334-35 (Tex.Crim.App.2002).
Before Hatten pleaded true to the motion to revoke, he signed a written form waiving certain rights, including his right to an attorney.[1]
*162 In addition to receiving and approving Hatten's waiver form, the trial court inquired into Hatten's knowing and intelligent waiver of his rights as well as his mental condition and his understanding of the proceedings.[2]
*163 In the past, there have been some differences of opinion among the courts of appeals as to when and under what circumstances it is necessary for the trial court to advise a defendant as to his right to counsel and admonish him on the record as to the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation. At least part of this uncertainty has now been removed. Since the decision in Johnson v. State, it is clear that, in misdemeanor cases where the defendant's guilt is not contested, the trial court is not required to admonish the defendant as to the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation, but must only see that the defendant voluntarily and intelligently waived his right to counsel. Johnson v. State, 614 S.W.2d 116; Garcia v. State, 909 S.W.2d 563 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 1995, pet. ref'd); Barras v. State, 902 S.W.2d 178 (Tex.App.-El Paso 1995, pet. ref'd); Blocker v. State, 889 S.W.2d 506 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1994, no pet.); State v. Finstad, 866 S.W.2d 815 (Tex.App.Waco 1993, pet. ref'd); Cooper v. State, 854 S.W.2d 303 (Tex.App.-Austin 1993, no pet.).
Moreover, the teaching of Johnson and the above-cited courts of appeals cases, all of which are cited with approval by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in Hatten v. State, 71 S.W.3d 332, is that, if the defendant in a misdemeanor case where guilt is not contested signs a written waiver of counsel in court and there is no contradicting evidence or any evidence that the defendant was coerced or intimidated, the record is sufficient to support a finding that the defendant's waiver of counsel was valid. That is what occurred in this case. Hatten signed an extensive and thorough written waiver approved by the trial court. There was some testimony about his knowing waiver of his rights, and in none of the evidence is there any hint that tends to contradict his written waiver. The trial court found that Hatten freely and voluntarily waived his right to counsel and to a jury trial and other rights. Paraphrasing the words of the Houston Court of Appeals in Blocker v. State, 889 S.W.2d at 508, we note that, if Hatten had second thoughts about proceeding without a lawyer, he was free to bring those concerns to the trial court's attention before the entry of his plea of true.
Because the record here supports the trial court's finding that Hatten voluntarily and intelligently waived his right to counsel, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
