APPELLANT

APPELLEE

PER CURIAM

Appellant pleaded guilty and judicially confessed to attempted murder. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 15.01 (Supp. 1991) and 19.02 (1989). The district court found him guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for two years.

In his only point of error, appellant complains that the court erred by not placing him on probation. This contention is without merit. The decision whether to grant probation is within the absolute discretion of the trial court. Nelson v. State, 573 S.W.2d 9, 12 (Tex. Cr. App. 1978).

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
