MEMORANDUM OPINION



Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Castillo

Opinion by Justice Yañez


Matilde Ortiz appeals the revocation of her community supervision. We affirm.

The State moved to revoke Ortiz's community supervision, alleging that she had violated several conditions of her supervision by: being in possession of cocaine; failing to pay fines, court costs, supervision fees, and reimbursement for a pre-sentence investigation; and failing to report her arrest for cocaine possession within ten days of the arrest. Ortiz pleaded true to the failure to report her arrest. Ortiz challenges the revocation of her community supervision with three points of error.

A trial court is vested with discretion to revoke an individual's community supervision. Herrera v. State, 951 S.W.2d 197, 199 (Tex. App.--Corpus Christi 1997, no pet.). Violation of a single condition of community supervision is sufficient to support a trial court's decision to revoke. Id. (citing Moore v. State, 605 S.W.2d 924, 925 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980)). Standing alone, a plea of true is sufficient to support the trial court's order of revocation. Cole v. State, 578 S.W.2d 127, 128 (Tex. Crim. App. 1979).

On appeal, Ortiz raises no challenge to her plea of true as to her failure to report her arrest to her community supervision officer. This plea is sufficient to support revocation. The judgment of the trial court is AFFIRMED.
