MODIFY and AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed July 29, 2014. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00420-CR DANNY RAY TEMPLETON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F12-70535-I MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Fillmore, Evans, and Lewis Opinion by Justice Lewis Danny Ray Templeton appeals from the adjudication of his guilt for aggravated assault. In a single issue, appellant contends the trial court s judgment should be modified to reflect the correct statute for the charged offense. The State agrees that the judgment should be modified as appellant requests. We modify the trial court s judgment and affirm as modified. The trial court s judgment adjudicating guilt incorrectly identifies the statute for the offense as 481.115 Health and Safety Code. Appellant was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon under section 22.02 of the Texas Penal Code. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.02(a)(2) (West 2011). Thus, the judgment is incorrect. We sustain appellant s sole issue. We further note the judgment incorrectly states that the degree of the offense is a state jail felony. Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is a second-degree felony offense. Id. § 22.02(b). We modify the judgment adjudicating guilt to show the statute for the offense is 22.02(a) Penal Code and the degree of the offense is second-degree felony. 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 adjudicating guilt. /David Lewis/ DAVID LEWIS JUSTICE Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP.
