John Paul Wilkins, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee
MEMORANDUM Opinion
John Paul Wilkins appeals from a plea of true to a revocation of his community supervision for the offense of possession of cocaine in an amount greater than or equal to 4 grams but less than 200 grams. Tex. Health & Safety Code AnnN. § 481.115(a) & (d) (Vernon 2010). There was no plea bargain and Wilkins was sentenced to five (5) years' imprisonment. Wilkins complains in his sole issue that he did not receive credit for the time he served in jail immediately preceding his revocation hearing.
A review of the reporter's record indicates that the trial court stated that Wilkins would receive credit for his time served when the sentence was assessed. Further, the judgment revoking his community supervision reflects that he was given credit for the 92 days of which he now complains. Therefore, no error exists. We overrule Wilkins's sole issue. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
