PER CURIAM

Sitting: Tom Rickhoff, Justice

Delivered and Filed: March 3, 1999

AFFIRMED AS REFORMED

Pursuant to a plea bargain, Samuel Ford pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance and was sentenced to one year confinement, probated for two years. Later, the State moved to revoke Ford's probation, and the trial court granted the motion. On appeal, Ford contends the trial court erroneously denied him forty-three days of jail time credit.

The State concedes Ford is entitled to jail time credit. See Ex parte Bates, 978 S.W.2d 575, 578 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). However, the State argues Ford is entitled to only thirty-day days, rather than the forty-three days claimed by Ford. We agree the State properly calculated the days between the date of Ford's arrest, August 20, 1998, and the date his probation was revoked, September 21, 1998. We therefore reform the trial court's judgment to reflect a jail sentence of one year with a credit of thirty-days for time served. As reformed, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
