OPINION

EVELYN V. KEYES, Justice.

A jury convicted appellant, Robert Sullivan, of two separate causes of intoxication manslaughter. 1 The court assessed punishment at 15 years in prison in each cause, with the sentences to be served concurrently. In two points of error, appellant argues that the trial court erred (1) in admitting a State’s exhibit in violation of the hearsay rule, the right of confrontation, and the right of cross-examination and (2) in making an affirmative finding that appellant’s vehicle was used as a deadly weapon.

We affirm.
