MEMORANDUM OPINION¹

------------

        In a single point on appeal, appellant contends that the evidence is legally insufficient to support the trial court’s deadly weapon finding. Appellant pled guilty and signed a judicial confession stating that he had committed “each and every allegation [the indictment] contains,” which alleged that appellant used or exhibited a deadly weapon in committing the offense.  At the plea hearing, appellant answered “True” when asked whether he used or exhibited a deadly weapon.  We hold that this evidence is sufficient to support the deadly weapon finding.  See Keller v. State, 125 S.W.3d 600, 605 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2003), pet. dism’d, improvidently granted, 146 S.W.3d 677 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004), cert. denied, 125 S. Ct. 1603 (2005); Hunt v. State, 967 S.W.2d 917, 919 (Tex. App.—Beaumont 1998, no pet.); Rankin v. State, No. 02-98-00382-CR, slip op. at 5 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Mar. 7, 2002, pet. ref’d) (op. on remand) (not designated for publication).  We overrule appellant’s sole point and affirm the trial court’s judgment.
