                  TANNER LUCAS GUERRA, Appellant
                                         V.
                     THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


                     On Appeal from the 32nd District Court
                             Nolan County, Texas
                         Trial Court Cause No. 11601


                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
      Appellant, Tanner Lucas Guerra, originally pleaded guilty to the second-
degree felony offense of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Pursuant to the
terms of the plea agreement, the trial court deferred a finding of guilt and placed
Appellant on community supervision for four years. The State subsequently filed a
motion to proceed with an adjudication of Appellant’s guilt. At a contested hearing
on the State’s motion, the trial court found nine of the State’s ten allegations to be
true, revoked Appellant’s community supervision, adjudicated him guilty of the
charged offense, and assessed his punishment at confinement for twelve years and a
fine of $3,000. We modify and dismiss.
      Appellant’s court-appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw. The
motion is supported by a brief in which counsel professionally and conscientiously
examines the record and applicable law and states that he has concluded that the
appeal is frivolous and without merit. Counsel has provided Appellant with a copy
of the brief, a copy of the motion to withdraw, an explanatory letter, a copy of the
clerk’s record, and a copy of the reporter’s record. Counsel also advised Appellant
of his right to review the record and file a response to counsel’s brief. Court-
appointed counsel has complied with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967); Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); In re
Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d
503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel
Op.] 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Gainous v.
State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969); and Eaden v. State, 161 S.W.3d 173
(Tex. App.—Eastland 2005, no pet.).
      Appellant filed a pro se response to counsel’s brief. In his response, Appellant
complains that the police report was incorrect and that his attorneys rendered
ineffective assistance. Appellant’s complaints relate to matters that are outside the
appellate record.
      Following the procedures outlined in Anders and Schulman, we have
independently reviewed the record, and we agree that the appeal is without merit and
should be dismissed. See Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 409. We note that proof of one
violation of the terms and conditions of community supervision is sufficient to
support revocation. Smith v. State, 286 S.W.3d 333, 342 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009).
The record from the adjudication hearing shows that the State presented testimony
                                          2
about the violations by Appellant of the terms and conditions of his community
supervision as alleged in the State’s motion to adjudicate. Appellant testified and
gave explanations for some of the alleged violations and denied others. Based upon
our review of the record, we agree with counsel that no arguable grounds for appeal
exist.
         We note, however, that the judgment contains a nonreversible error. The trial
court ordered Appellant to pay court-appointed attorney’s fees that included both the
original $500 fee,1 which was part of the original plea bargain and was included in
the order of deferred adjudication, and an additional fee for counsel’s representation
of Appellant with respect to the revocation and adjudication proceedings. The
amount of the additional attorney’s fees was $1,500. The record reflects that the
trial court had found Appellant to be indigent and had appointed counsel to represent
him. A defendant who has been determined to be indigent is presumed to remain
indigent, and court-appointed attorney’s fees cannot be assessed against such a
defendant unless there is proof and a finding by the trial court that the defendant is
no longer indigent. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. arts. 26.04(p), 26.05(g) (West
Supp. 2016); Cates v. State, 402 S.W.3d 250, 251–52 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013);
Mayer v. State, 309 S.W.3d 552, 555–56 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010). In this case, the
record contains no such proof or finding. Therefore, the trial court erred when it
assessed the additional $1,500 in court-appointed attorney’s fees against Appellant.
         This error does not constitute reversible error; the proper remedy is to modify
the judgment to remove the improperly assessed fees. Cates, 402 S.W.3d at 252;
Olivas v. State, No. 11-14-00075-CR, 2014 WL 4536389, at *1 (Tex. App.—
Eastland Sept. 11, 2014, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication). We

         We note that any complaint related to the assessment of $500 as attorney’s fees in the original
         1

order of deferred adjudication has been forfeited by Appellant. See Riles v. State, 452 S.W.3d 333, 337–
38 (Tex. Crim. App. 2015).

                                                   3
modify the judgment of the trial court to delete the $1,500 assessment, thus changing
the amount of court-appointed attorney’s fees assessed against Appellant from
$2,000 to $500.
      We note that counsel has the responsibility to advise Appellant that he may
file a petition for discretionary review with the clerk of the Texas Court of Criminal
Appeals seeking review by that court. TEX. R. APP. P. 48.4 (“In criminal cases, the
attorney representing the defendant on appeal shall, within five days after the
opinion is handed down, send his client a copy of the opinion and judgment, along
with notification of the defendant’s right to file a pro se petition for discretionary
review under Rule 68.”). Likewise, this court advises Appellant that he may file a
petition for discretionary review pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 68.
       The judgment is modified to reflect that the amount of attorney’s fees
assessed against Appellant is $500, not $2,000; the motion to withdraw is granted;
and the appeal is dismissed.
