1. “It makes sense for the trial court to wait to impose a term of community supervision and attendant conditions until it can evaluate an offender’s performance under a SSOSA sentence. There is often scant treatment history before the sentence is imposed, and the treatment process or the defendant’s violation of a condition of the suspended sentence may reveal additional problems that should be the subject of crime-related prohibitions when the court makes the revocation decision. The trial court obviously cannot know what these might be before the defendant begins serving the SSOSA sentence.”

2. “"On all sentences of confinement for one year or less, the court may impose up to one year of community supervision. An offender shall be on community supervision as of the date of sentencing. However, during the time for which the offender is in total or partial confinement pursuant to the sentence or a violation of the sentence, the period of community supervision shall toll.””
