AFFIRMED as MODIFIED and Opinion Filed October 5, 2022 S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-22-00308-CR LESSLIE VIANEY LUNA, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 86th Judicial District Court Kaufman County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 18-11042-86-F MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Smith, Nowell, and Osborne Opinion by Justice Smith Appellant Lesslie Vianey Luna appeals from a judgment revoking her community supervision and sentencing her to five years’ confinement. In a single issue, she contends the judgment erroneously reflects that she pleaded true to the allegations in the motion to revoke and asks this Court to modify the judgment. We agree and modify the trial court’s judgment revoking community supervision. Background In 2019, appellant was indicted for sexual assault of a child. She entered a negotiated guilty plea to the lesser-included offense of attempted sexual assault of a child and requested that she be placed on community supervision. The trial court found appellant guilty and sentenced her to ten years’ confinement. The trial court then suspended the sentence of confinement in favor of placing appellant on community supervision for six years. The State subsequently filed a motion to revoke, alleging appellant had violated a number of her community supervision conditions. Following a hearing on the motion, the trial court found the State’s allegations true and entered a judgment revoking appellant’s community supervision and imposing a sentence of five years’ confinement. Just prior to making its finding and sentencing appellant, the trial court stated that appellant had pleaded not true to the allegations in the motion to revoke. The judgment revoking community supervision, however, reflects that appellant pleaded true to the allegations. Modification of Judgment In a single issue, appellant requests that we modify the judgment revoking community supervision to reflect that she pleaded not true to the State’s allegations in the motion to revoke.1 When a record contains the necessary information, we may modify an incorrect judgment to correct clerical errors. TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(b); Bigley v. State, 865 S.W.2d 26, 27 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993); Asberry v. State, 813 S.W.2d 526, 529 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1991, pet. ref'’d) (en banc). Here, the record shows that appellant pleaded not true to the allegations prior to the hearing 1 The State has not filed a brief in response. –2– on the motion to revoke. Because the trial court’s Judgment Revoking Community Supervision states otherwise, we sustain her sole issue and modify the section of the judgment entitled “Plea to Motion to Adjudicate” to state “Not True.” As modified, we affirm the trial court’s judgment. /Craig Smith/ CRAIG SMITH JUSTICE 220308f.u05 Do Not Publish TEX.
