RODERICK BROWN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F11-56213-U
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Fillmore, Stoddart, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Stoddart
Roderick Brown appeals after his conviction, following the adjudication of his guilt, for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 29.03(a) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment, enhanced by a prior felony conviction, at thirty-five years' imprisonment. In a single issue, appellant contends the trial court's judgment incorrectly reflects his plea to an enhancement paragraph. We modify the trial court's judgment adjudicating guilt and affirm as modified.
Appellant contends the order deferring adjudication of guilt incorrectly shows he pleaded true to two enhancement paragraphs when there was only one enhancement paragraph alleged in the indictment. Once the trial court revoked appellant's community supervision and adjudicated appellant guilty, the order deferring adjudication of guilt was no longer in effect. See Taylor v. State, 131 S.W.3d 497, 502 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004); McCoy v. State, 81 S.W.3d 917, 919 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2002, pet. ref'd). Because the order deferring adjudication of guilt is no longer in effect, we decline to modify it as appellant requests.
However, the judgment adjudicating guilt likewise does not correctly reflect that appellant pleaded true to one enhancement paragraph and the trial court found the enhancement paragraph true. Thus, on our own motion, we modify the trial court's judgment adjudicating guilt to show the "plea to first enhancement paragraph" is "true," and the "finding on first enhancement paragraph" is "true." See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(b); Bigley v. State, 865 S.W.2d 26, 27-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993); Asberry v. State, 813 S.W.2d 526, 529-30 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1991, pet. ref'd).
As modified, we affirm the trial court's judgment adjudicating guilt.
