    YUSOF A. SHABAZZ APPELLANT

      

    V.

      

    THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE

      

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

      

    FROM THE 371ST DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

    MEMORANDUM OPINION (footnote: 1)

      

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

    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.
