                          LUPE ROCHA ROJAS, Appellant

                                              V.

                             STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                           On Appeal from the 39th District Court

                                    Haskell County, Texas

                                 Trial Court Cause No. 5967

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

       This is an appeal from a judgment adjudicating appellant’s guilt. Appellant originally
pleaded guilty to the offense of burglary of a habitation. Pursuant to a plea bargain, the trial
court deferred the adjudication of appellant’s guilt and placed him on community supervision.
The State subsequently filed a motion to adjudicate.       The trial court revoked appellant’s
deferred-adjudication community supervision, convicted appellant of the offense of burglary of a
habitation, and assessed punishment at confinement for twenty years. We affirm.
          In his sole issue on appeal, appellant argues that the evidence is insufficient to show that
he committed the offense of burglary of a habitation on the date alleged in the indictment. The
indictment, which was presented in April 2004, alleged the offense was committed on
November 28, 2003. The date indicated in the stipulation of evidence was November 28, 2004,
rather than 2003. The original order deferring the adjudication of appellant’s guilt shows that
appellant pleaded guilty and that the date of the offense was November 2003, as alleged in the
indictment.1
          In an appeal from a judgment adjudicating guilt, an attack on the original plea of guilty
and judgment deferring the adjudication of guilt is prohibited unless the judgment is void. Nix v.
State, 65 S.W.3d 664, 667-68 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). Neither the trial court’s order deferring
the adjudication of guilt nor the subsequent judgment adjudicating appellant’s guilt in this case is
void. See id. at 668 n.14. Appellant’s issue is overruled.
          The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

                                                                                JIM R. WRIGHT

           We note that this case was submitted on the clerk’s record alone due to appellant’s fault – failing to designate or make
arrangements to pay for the reporter’s record – and that appellant was given an opportunity to cure but failed to do so. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3.
