Shadrick Rayshard Woods v. State

AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED; Opinion Filed October 3, 2019
In the
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-00407-CR
SHADRICK RAYSHARD WOODS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 203rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F17-51720-P
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Pedersen, III, Reichek, and Carlyle
Opinion by Justice Carlyle
Shadrick Rayshard Woods was convicted and sentenced to twenty years of imprisonment
after pleading guilty to intoxication manslaughter with a vehicle. Although the record
unambiguously shows both that Woods entered an open plea of guilty to the charge and that the
trial court sentenced him under that open plea, the trial court’s judgment of conviction states
“Terms of Plea Bargain: 20 YEARS PENITENTIARY.”
In a single issue, Woods contends the judgment of conviction should be modified to reflect
that he did not plea to the term of imprisonment. The State concedes the error and agrees the
judgment should be modified to reflect Woods’s open plea.
We are authorized to modify incorrect judgments when the record provides the necessary
information. 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. ref’d). We agree
with Woods that the judgment should reflect his open plea. Thus, we modify the section of the
judgment titled “Terms of Plea Bargain” to reflect “OPEN” instead of “20 YEARS
PENITENTIARY.” As modified, we affirm the judgment.
