AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED and Opinion Filed October 3, 2024

In the Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-24-00124-CR ARTHUR JACKSON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 195th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F18-51556 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Reichek, Carlyle, and Nowell Opinion by Justice Carlyle Appellant Arthur Jackson pled guilty to aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and received deferred adjudication. Five years later, the State filed a motion to adjudicate Jackson’s guilt, Jackson entered an open plea of true to the State’s allegation, and the trial court sentenced him to fifteen years of confinement in the Texas Department of Corrections. We affirm the trial court’s judgment as modified in this memorandum opinion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.4.

In a single issue on appeal, Jackson contends—and the State agrees—that we should correct the judgment adjudicating guilt to reflect that he did not enter into a plea bargain with the State concerning its motion to adjudicate his guilt. We have the power and duty to modify an incorrect judgment to make the record speak the truth. Asberry v. State, 813 S.W.2d 526, 529 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1991, pet. ref’d) (en banc). We modify the judgment to reflect that there was no plea bargain agreement with the State concerning its motion to adjudicate his guilt.

The State also asks us to modify the judgment to include a deadly weapon finding. Jackson was charged via indictment with: knowingly, while in the course of committing theft of property and with intent to obtain or maintain control of said property, threaten[ing] and plac[ing] [the complainant] in fear of imminent bodily injury and death, and the defendant used and exhibited a deadly weapon, to-wit: A KNIFE.

The record shows Jackson signed a judicial confession including this language from the indictment and includes his original plea agreement, in which he agreed to an affirmative finding of a deadly weapon, a knife. The original order deferring adjudication in the case includes Jackson’s guilty plea and the deadly weapon finding. And, during the revocation hearing, the trial court found Jackson guilty of the offense of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon as set forth in the indictment. Thus, we modify the judgment to reflect the deadly weapon finding.
