We show a numerical evidence that a tethered surface model with extrinsic curvature undergoes a first-order crumpling transition between the smooth phase and a non-smooth phase on triangulated tori. The results obtained in this Letter together with the previous ones on spherical surfaces lead us to conclude that the tethered surface model undergoes a first-order transition on compact surfaces.
