ANTHONY BAINES, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
AFFIRMED as Modified; Opinion Filed June 3, 2013.
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 6
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F11-63373-X
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang, Myers, and Evans
Opinion by Justice Myers
Anthony Baines waived a jury and pleaded guilty to theft of property valued at $1,500 or more but less than $20,000. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 31.03(a), (e)(4)(A) (West 2011). Appellant also pleaded true to two enhancement paragraphs alleging prior theft convictions. The trial court assessed punishment at ten years' imprisonment. In a single issue, appellant contends the judgment should be modified to show there was no plea bargain agreement. The State agrees modification is needed. We modify the trial court's judgment and affirm as modified. Appellant entered an open plea of guilty to the indictment. The judgment, however, states he pleaded guilty pursuant to a plea bargain agreement. Thus, the judgment is incorrect. We sustain appellant's sole issue.
We modify the judgment to show appellant entered an open plea of guilty and there were no plea bargain terms. 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.
