Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-01193-CR
CHRISTOPHER LAMONT JOHNSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 1
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F08-33900-H
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Francis
Christopher Lamont Johnson appeals his conviction following the adjudication of his
guilt for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. In a single issue, appellant contends the
judgment should be modified to correctly reflect his plea to the motion to adjudicate. We modify
the trial court’s judgment adjudicating guilt and affirm as modified.
The State’s motion to adjudicate guilt alleged appellant violated eight conditions of
community supervision, including condition (E) failing to give twenty-four hour notice of
changes in home or employment address. At the hearing on the motion, appellant pleaded not
true to violating condition (E) and true to the remaining allegations. The trial court found that
appellant violated all the conditions alleged in the motion, granted the State’s motion,
adjudicated appellant guilty, and assessed punishment at imprisonment for twenty-five years.
In a single issue, appellant asks that we modify the judgment to reflect he pleaded not
true to violating condition (E). The State agrees the judgment should be modified as appellant
requests. We agree that the judgment adjudicating guilt incorrectly states appellant’s plea to the
motion to adjudicate was “true.” We sustain appellant’s issue.
We modify the judgment to show the plea to the motion to adjudicate was “Not True to
Conditions (E); True to Conditions (B), (H), (J), (K), (L), (N), (Q).” 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).
We note that the judgment also incorrectly shows “n/a” in the section regarding the
deadly weapon finding. Appellant was indicted for, pleaded guilty to, and was convicted of
aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, a firearm. A firearm is a deadly weapon per se. See
TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 1.07(17)(A) (West Supp. 2014). Accordingly, we modify the
judgment adjudicating guilt to show the “findings on deadly weapon” is “yes, a firearm.”
As modified, we affirm the trial court’s judgment adjudicating guilt.
