Doody v. State

¶1OPINION

¶2These are appeals from orders revoking probation.

¶3On October 20, 1970, appellant entered pleas of guilty to two indictments charging him with theft of property of over the value of fifty dollars. On October 29, 1970, appellant was placed on probation and the imposition of sentence in both cases was suspended. The probationary period was to commence on October 20, 1970, and continue for four years. Thereafter, appellant’s probation was revoked after a hearing held on October 26, 1972.

¶4Counsel for appellant has filed an An-ders v. California1 type brief in which he urges one possible ground of error. Appellant urges the same ground in a pro se brief. He contends the trial court erred in failing to properly admonish appellant of the consequences of the admission of truth of the contents of the motions to revoke probation. Appellant cites no authority for this proposition. In effect, appellant contends he did not know he could be sent to the Department of Corrections as a result of the hearing on the motion to revoke probation.

¶5In addition to noting that the word “probation” is in a measure self-explanatory, we note that the trial court, at the hearing to revoke probation, admonished appellant that he had an absolute right to remain silent, that he did not have to agree to anything, nor say, nor confess anything. He likewise admonished appellant that he had a right to confront the witnesses against him to see who they were, and hear what they had to say. Appellant acknowledged *303that he understood this. Thus, we find no merit in appellant’s contention.

¶6In his pro se brief, appellant asserts other grounds of error. These are not supported by the record and present nothing for review. Devereaux v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 473 S.W.2d 525; Isaacs v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 403 S.W.2d 409; Creed v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 403 S.W.2d 129.

¶7Finding no reversible error, the judgments are affirmed.
