### MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices FitzGerald, Lang, and Brown Opinion by Justice Brown Bernard Kay Ross a ppeals from an order of deferred adjudication for robbery and a conviction for burglary. At issue is whether a trial court can stack a term of deferred adjudication community supervision onto a prison sentence

. This Court has already determined this issu e in appellant’s favor . W e modify the order of deferred adjudication to reflect that the period of community supervision is to run concurrently with the burglary sentence . We further modify the order and also the judgment of conviction to make other revi sions the parties agree
upon . As modified, we affirm the trial court’s order and judgment

. In 2012, appellant was indicted for burglary of a habitation. He pleaded guilty pursuant to a plea bargain agreement and was placed on deferred adjudication commun ity supervision for– 2

– six years and fined $2,500 . In 2013, appellant was indicted for robbery. 1 Based on this new offense, among other things, the State moved to revoke appellant’s community supervision

. O n November 1 , 2013, a ppellant pleaded guilty to robbery and true to the allegations in the State’s motion to revoke. The court revoked appellant’s community supervision, adjudicated appellant guilty of burglary, and assessed punishment for that offense at ten years’ confinement. The court also deferre d finding appellant guilty of robbery and placed him on deferred adjudication community supervision for ten years. The court orally pronounced that the term of deferred adjudication would begin a fter appellant served his prison sentence, stating , “So when you get out of prison, you’re going back on probation for ten years.” In his first point of error, appellant contends the trial court erred in stacking his t e rm of deferred adjudication community supervision on to his prison sentence. We agree. We review a trial court’s decision to cumulate sentences for an abuse of discretion. Hurley v. State , 130 S.W.3d 501, 503 (Tex. App.

— Dallas 2004, no pet.). Cumulative sentencing is permitted only as provided by statute. Id. Article 42.08 of the code of criminal procedure provides that when a defendant has been convicted in two or more cases, the trial court has discretion to order the judgment and sentence imposed in the second conviction either 1) to begin to run after the judgment and sentence imposed in the preceding conviction has ceased to operate, or 2) to run concurrently with the judgment and sentence imposed in the preceding conviction. Id. ; see T EX

. art. 42.08(a) (West Supp. 2014 ). In Hurley , we held that, because it does not include an adjudication of guilt, a deferred adjudication order is not a conviction for purposes of article 42.08

. Hurley , 130 S.W.3d at 505 ; see Beedy v. State , 194 S.W.3d 595, 602 (Tex. App.

— Houston [1st Dist.] 2006), aff’d , 250 S.W.3d 107 (Tex . Crim.

1 Appellant was indicted for aggravated robbery, but the trial court later granted the State’s motion to reduce the charge to robbery

.– 3

– App. 2008)

. 2 Under the statute, the trial court does not have discretion to stack two sentences until a defendant has been convicted of two or more offenses and sentences are imposed or suspended in those cases. Hurley , 130 S.W.3d at 506. Accord ingly, w e concluded the trial court abused its discretion in ordering the deferred adjudication to begin after the defendant served his prison sentence. Id. at 507. We reach the same conclusion in this case. The State urges us to recons ider this issue in light of Ex parte Garza , 192 S.W.3d 658 (Tex. App.

— Corpus Christi 2006, no pet.). The court of appeals in that habeas case did not disagree with Hurley but instead found the conclusion we reached did not apply. Id. at 661. It seemed to draw a distincti on based on the fact that Garza had already been released from prison and , upon his release , the court had entered a new order that he begin to serve his deferred adjudication community supervision

. Id. at 660

– 62. It ruled that a trial court cannot be in violation of a sentence stacking statute if there is only one sentence involved. Id. at 662. We do not find Garza persuasive and will follow the precedent of this Court

. Although the trial court orally pronounced that the term of community supervision would begin to run after appellant served his prison term, its orde r of deferred adjudication is silent on whether the period of community supervision is to run concurrently or consecutively with the prison sentence . Nevertheless, to be clear, we modify the order to reflect that the period of deferred adjudication community supervision is to run concurrently with the sentence in the burglary case

. We sustain appellant’s first point of error. In points two through six, appellant contends we need to make o ther modifications to the order of deferred adjudication, as well as the judgment in the burglary case, to correct various

errors . Specifically, he contends the order and judgment both erroneously indicate there was a

2 In Beedy , t he court of criminal appeals addressed only the issue of what the appropriate remedy was for an improper cumulation order

— deletion of the improper cumulation order or remand for resentencing

. Beedy , 250 S.W.3d at 109. The court determined the proper re medy was to delete the cumulation order. Id. at 115.– 4

– plea bargain agreement , when his plea s of guilty and true were open pleas. He also contends the documents incorrectly reflect that the State’s attorney was Herschel Wood, when the reporter ’ s records show it was Stephanie Mitchell. Finally, appellant contends the judgment of conviction d oes not reflect the court’s oral order that h e attend the Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility ( SAFPF ) drug program while in prison. 3 The State agrees the se modifications should be made

. See Asberry v. State , 813 S.W.2d 526, 529 (Tex. App.

— Dallas 1991, pet. ref’d ) (appellate court has power to correct and reform judgment of court below to make record speak truth when it has information to do so). We sustain points of error two through six. We modify the order of deferred adjudication in cause number F1 3

- 24874

- P to reflect that : 1) the period of community supervision is to run concurrently with the sentence in cause number F12

- 57536

- 57536

- P to reflect that: 1) the attorney for the State was Stephanie Mitchell; 2) the “Terms of Plea Bargain” are none; and 3) appellant shall attend SAFPF

. We order the trial court to enter a new order of deferred adjudication and a new judgment of conviction to reflect these modifications. As modified, we affirm the trial court’s order of deferred adjudication and its judgment of conviction
