                               THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                      On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 6

                               MEMORANDUM OPINION

                           Before Justices Moseley, Francis, and Lang
                                  Opinion by Justice Moseley

       A jury convicted Jameion Lee Whiteman of robbery. The trial court assessed punishment

at five years’ imprisonment.     In a single issue, appellant contends the judgment should be

modified to accurately reflect the offense for which he was convicted and the correct statute for

that offense. We modify the trial court’s judgment and affirm as modified. The background of

the case and the evidence admitted at trial are well known to the parties, and we therefore limit

recitation of the facts. We issue this memorandum opinion pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 47.4 because the law to be applied in the case is well settled.
       Appellant was convicted of the offense of robbery. See TEX. PENAL CoDE ANN.          §   29.02

(West 2011).    The trial court’s judgment recites the offense as aggravated robbery with a deadly

weapon, pursuant to section 29.03 of the Texas Penal Code. Additionally, the judgment states

the offense is a first-degree felony, and recites an affirmative deadly weapon finding. Robbery is

a second-degree felony offense, and there is no allegation of a deadly weapon in the indictment

or charge to the jury. Thus, the judgment is incorrect. We sustain appellant’s issue.

       We modify the judgment to show the following: (1) the offense for which appellant was

convicted is robbery; (2) the statute for the offense is section 29.02; (3) the degree of the offense

is second-degree felony; and (4) the finding on deadly weapon is “N/A.” See Tux. 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.
