Chad Russell George v. State of Texas - Injury to Child Case
Summary
The Texas Court of Appeals affirmed a trial court's decision to revoke Chad Russell George's community supervision for an injury to a child conviction. The court found that George failed to comply with the terms of his supervision, leading to the revocation of his suspended sentence.
What changed
The Texas Court of Appeals, in case number 06-25-00128-CR, affirmed the trial court's decision to revoke Chad Russell George's community supervision for an injury to a child conviction. George had initially received a ten-year suspended sentence for this charge, along with sentences for two child endangerment charges. The State successfully moved to revoke his supervision, alleging failure to pay fees, complete community service, and report as required. The trial court found these allegations true, revoked the supervision, adjudicated guilt, and imposed the original ten-year prison sentence.
This ruling means that Chad Russell George will now serve his ten-year prison sentence. The appellate court's affirmation indicates that the trial court's proceedings and decision to revoke supervision were legally sound. For legal professionals, this case serves as an example of the consequences of failing to adhere to the terms of community supervision, particularly in cases involving serious offenses like injury to a child. No new compliance actions are required for regulated entities, as this is a specific case outcome.
Penalties
Ten years imprisonment for injury to a child conviction.

V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 6th District Court
Red River County, Texas
Trial Court No. CR03479
Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice van Cleef
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Chad Russell George was placed on community supervision pursuant to a plea agreement
in three separate cause numbers—one charge of injury to a child, for which he was sentenced to
ten years’ imprisonment, and two separate charges of endangering a child, for which he was
sentenced to two years’ imprisonment on each charge.1 The trial court suspended George’s
sentences and placed him on community supervision for a period of ten years for the first charge
and a period of five years for the two separate charges. As to the first charge, the State
subsequently moved to revoke George’s community supervision and sought adjudication,
alleging that George failed to pay required fees and fines, failed to perform 100 hours of
community service restitution, and failed to report for the months of January, February, and
March of 2025. George pled true to the first two allegations and partially true to the third. After
a hearing on the State’s motion to revoke, the trial court found allegations two and three to be
true, revoked George’s community supervision, adjudicated his guilt, and sentenced him to ten
years imprisonment for injury to a child. George appeals.
George’s attorney has filed a brief stating that he reviewed the record and found no
genuinely arguable issues that could be raised on appeal. The brief sets out the procedural
history of the case and summarizes the evidence elicited during the course of the trial court
proceedings. Since counsel has provided a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating
why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced, that evaluation meets the requirements of

Anders v. California. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 743–44 (1967); In re Schulman, 252
S.W.3d 403, 406 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (orig. proceeding); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503,

Op.] 1978). Counsel also filed a motion with this Court seeking to withdraw as counsel in this
appeal.
On December 2, 2025, counsel mailed to George copies of the brief, the motion to
withdraw, and a printed copy of the record. George was informed of his rights to review the
record and file a pro se response. On December 3, 2025, this Court informed George that his
pro se brief, if any were to be filed, was due on or before January 2, 2026. On January 13, 2026,
we notified George that this cause was set for submission on the briefs on February 3, 2026. On
January 20, 2026, George filed a motion requesting additional time to file his pro se response,
which was granted, giving him until February 19, 2026, to file a pro se response. George’s
response was received on February 17, 2026, and the case was re-set for submission on the briefs
on March 10, 2026.
We have reviewed the entire appellate record and George’s pro se response and have
independently determined that no reversible error exists. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824,
826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

Since we agree that this case presents no reversible error, we also, in accordance with Anders, grant counsel’s
request to withdraw from further representation of appellant in this case. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744. No substitute

Criminal Appeals, appellant must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review or file a pro se

see TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2, (2) must be filed with the clerk of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, see TEX. R. APP. P.
68.3, and (3) should comply with the requirements of Rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, see TEX.
