MEMORANDUM OPINION Before CAMPBELL and PIRTLE and PARKER, JJ.

Following a jury trial, Michael Ray Reed, Jr., appellant, was found guilty of the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.^[1] His punishment was assessed at confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for six years. In his sole issue, appellant contends that the evidence was insufficient to establish that he was a convicted felon as alleged by the indictment. We affirm the decision of the trial court.

Analysis

In a single issue, appellant argues that the evidence was insufficient to support the jury’s finding that he had been previously convicted of a felony. When reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence, we view all of the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict to determine whether a rational jury could have found the essential elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319, 99 S. Ct. 2781, 61 L. Ed. 2d 560 (1979); Brooks v. State, 323 S.W.3d 893, 912 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010). “[O]nly that evidence which is sufficient in character, weight, and amount to justify a fact finder in concluding that every element of the offense has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt is adequate to support a conviction.” Brooks, 323 S.W.3d at 917 (Cochran, J., concurring). We must “defer to the jury’s credibility and weight determinations because the jury is the sole judge of the witnesses’ credibility and the weight to be given their testimony.” Id. at 899.

The sufficiency of the evidence is measured by the elements of the offense as defined by a hypothetically correct jury charge. Malik v. State, 953 S.W.2d 234, 240 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997). To prove unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, the State was required to prove that appellant (1) possessed a firearm at a location other than the premises at which he lives and (2) after conviction and after the fifth anniversary of his release from community supervision. TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 46.04(a)(2).

Appellant does not dispute that the investigating officers found a firearm in the center console of his Tahoe at a location away from his home. Appellant does not question the proximity and position of the firearm to appellant inside the Tahoe, or the fact that he successfully completed probation in 2007 for an assault, enhanced.

Appellant contends the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction because the jury did not hear facts establishing that appellant was previously convicted of a felony offense. According to appellant, the certified copy of the judgment did not establish appellant was a convicted felon because it “was never published to the jury.” Appellant concludes that, as such, there was no testimony indicating appellant had been convicted of a prior felony. The State responds by pointing to the video evidence in which appellant admitted to police that he was a convicted felon and the certified copy of appellant’s prior felony conviction which was admitted into evidence without objection. We agree with the State.

Appellant’s status as a convicted felon was acknowledged by appellant himself in the video recording played for the jury. Moreover, the certified copy of appellant’s conviction for assault, enhanced, was admitted into evidence and the judgment itself reflects it is a third-degree felony. Appellant admitted that he was the defendant identified in the prior conviction. Thus, the record contains sufficient information to establish appellant was a convicted felon. See Hutchings v. State, 333 S.W.3d 917, 922 (Tex. App.—Texarkana 2011, pet. dism’d) (admission of judgment of prior felony conviction is sufficient evidence of a prior felony conviction). Appellant cites us to no authority nor are we aware of any authority which requires a finding on the record that the jury “saw” the judgment when it is clear that it was admitted into evidence.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, we conclude that a rational jury could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that appellant was a convicted felon when he possessed the weapon. Appellant’s sole issue is overruled.

Conclusion

Having overruled appellant’s issue, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
