Curtis Lamon Hall v. State

AFFIRMED as Modified; Opinion Filed May 1, 2015. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00784-CR CURTIS LAMON HALL, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F13-63732-J MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Fillmore, Myers, and Evans Opinion by Justice Evans A jury convicted Curtis Lamon Hall of assault involving family violence, and having two prior assault-family violence convictions. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.01(a)(1), (b)(2) (West 2011); TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 71.0021, 71.005 (West 2008 & Supp. 2014). The trial court assessed punishment at five years’ imprisonment. In a single issue, appellant contends the trial court’s judgment should be modified to reflect the correct statute for the offense. The State agrees the judgment should be modified as appellant requests. We modify the trial court’s judgment and affirm as modified. The trial court’s judgment incorrectly identifies the statute for the offense as “22.02 Penal Code,” which is the statute for aggravated assault. Appellant was found guilty of assault involving family violence, with two prior assault-family violence convictions under section 22.01 of the Texas Penal Code. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.01(a)(1), (b)(2). We sustain appellant’s sole issue. We modify the trial court’s judgment to show the statute for the offense is “22.01 Penal Code.” 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. / David Evans/ DAVID EVANS JUSTICE Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP.
