OPINION

TREVATHAN, Justice.

This is an appeal from a conviction for injury to a child. After waiving trial by jury, upon a plea of nolo contendere, the trial court found appellant, Marcus Hernandez, guilty and made an affirmative finding that a deadly weapon had been used. The trial court assessed punishment at 25-years confinement. In two points of error, Hernandez argues the trial court should have sua sponte withdrawn his plea, that there is insufficient evidence to support the conviction, and that the trial court erred in denying his pretrial motion to quash the indictment. We affirm.
