                             THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                     On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 6
                                  Dallas County, Texas
                             Trial Court Cause No. F14-60200-X

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                        Before Justices Bridges, Lang-Miers, and Evans
                                   Opinion by Justice Evans
       Julian Pesina Gutierrez III appeals his conviction for robbery. In a single issue, appellant

contends the judgment should be modified to show the trial court assessed punishment. We

modify the trial court's judgment and affirm as modified.

       Appellant was indicted for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, a knife. A jury

convicted appellanj of the lesser-included offense of robbery. During the punishment phase,

appellant pleaded true to one enhancement paragraph. After finding the enhancement paragraph

true, the trial court assessed punishment at twenty years' imprisonment.         The trial court's

judgment incorrectly reflects the punishment was assessed by the jury. Therefore, we sustain

appellant's sole issue. We modify the judgment to show the punishment was assessed by the

trial court. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(b); Bigley v. State, 865 S.W.2d 26, 27-28 (Tex. Crim. App.
1993) (courts of appeals have authority to modify a judgment); see also Estrada v. State, 334
S.W.3d 57, 63-64 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2009, no pet.).

         In a cross-point, the State contends the judgment should be also modified to show

appellant pleaded true to one enhancement paragraph and the trial court found the enhancement

paragraph true. The trial court's judgment incorrectly shows "N/A" for the plea and findings on

the enhancement paragraph.      We also note the judgment incorrectly shows the degree of the

offense is "1st degree felony." Robbery is a second-degree felony offense. Accordingly, we

modify the sections of the judgment entitled "plea to 1st enhancement paragraph" and "findings

on 1st enhancement paragraph" to show "True," and modify the section entitled "degree of

offense" to show "2nd degree felony." Bigley, 865 S.W.2d at 27-28; Estrada, 334 S.W.3d at

63-64.

         As modified, we affirm the trial court's judgment.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

"True."
