OPINION

HILL, Justice.

Fred Scott appeals from the revocation of his probation upon his plea of not true to an allegation of theft of property of the value of less than $750. Scott’s court-appointed lawyer on appeal filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967) and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Crim.App.1969) in which she certified that Scott’s appeal is frivolous and without merit. Subsequently, Scott filed a pro se brief. Scott’s sole point of error is that the evidence is insufficient to support the revocation.
