                                              V.

                             THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                     On Appeal from the 282nd Judicial District Court
                                  Dallas County, Texas
                             Trial Court Cause No. F10-57354-S

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION

                          Before Justices Lang, Stoddart, and Schenck
                                  Opinion by Justice Schenck

       Kevin Lamont Garden appeals his conviction, following the adjudication of his guilt, for

aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. In a single issue, appellant contends the trial court's

judgment should be modified to delete the fine. The State agrees the fine should be deleted from

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

       Appellant waived a jury and pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon,

a firearm. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 29.03(a)(2) (West 2011). The- trial court deferred

adjudicating guilt, placed appellant on seven years' community supervision, and assessed a

$2,500 fine. The State later moved to adjudicate guilt, alleging appellant violated several
conditions of his community supervision. Following a hearing at which appellant pleaded true to

the allegations, the trial court adjudicated appellant guilty of aggravated robbery with a deadly

weapon and assessed punishment at twelve years' imprisonment. The trial judge did not orally

pronounce a fine. The trial court's judgment adjudicating guilt, however, includes a $2,500 fine.

       When a variation between the oral pronouncement of the sentence and the written

memorialization of the sentence exists, the oral pronouncement controls. See Coffey v. State, 979
S.W.2d 326, 329 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); see also McCoy v. State, 81 S.W.3d 917, 919 (Tex.

App.—Dallas 2002, pet. ref d). We sustain appellant's sole issue. We modify the judgment

adjudicating guilt to delete the fine. See Tex. 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. refd).

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

                                                   Court of Dallas County, Texas (Tr.Ct.No.
No. 05-13-01507-CR        V.                       F10-57354-S).
