MORRIS EDWARD SNEED, JR., Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 7
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-71684-Y
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Moseley, O’Neill, and FitzGerald
Opinion by Justice FitzGerald
Morris Edward Sneed, Jr. waived a jury, pleaded no contest to aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon, and pleaded true to one enhancement paragraph alleging a prior felony
conviction.1 After finding appellant guilty, the trial court assessed punishment at five years’
imprisonment. In two issues, appellant contends the trial court’s judgment should be modified to
accurately reflect his plea to the offense and that there was no plea bargain agreement. We
modify the trial court’s judgment and affirm as modified.
1
See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.02(a) (West 2011).
The judgment states there were terms of a plea bargain agreement and appellant pleaded
guilty to the offense. Additionally, the judgment indicates no plea or finding on the first
enhancement paragraph. Thus, the judgment is incorrect. We sustain appellant’s issues.
We modify the judgment to show: (1) the plea to the offense is “no contest;” (2) the terms
of the plea bargain were “open;” (3) the plea to the first enhancement paragraph is true; and (4)
the finding on the first enhancement paragraph is true.2 As modified, we affirm the trial court’s
judgment.
