Appellant Billy Burt Carter pleaded no contest to an information accusing him of cruelty to animals. The county court at law adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at incarceration for one year and a $2000 fine, but suspended imposition of sentence and placed appellant on community supervision.

A court reporter was not present at trial. Appellant, who represents himself on appeal, asked for and was given additional time to file a brief, but did not do so. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(4). We have examined the record before us and find no fundamental error that should be considered in the interest of justice.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
