OPINION

VALDEZ, Chief Justice.

Appellant, Terry Rickels, appeals the revocation of his probation. 1 He argues through three points of error that the trial court abused its discretion when it revoked his probation because: (1) the evidence was insufficient to establish that the appellant violated his probation; (2) the condition was too vagué and indefinite to be enforced; and (3) the condition was an unlawful delegation of authority to the probation department. 2 We reverse the judgment revoking appellant’s probation and remand the case to the trial court.
