Therefore, the State argues that by alleging appellant committed aggravated assault, the indictment also alleges appellant committed serious bodily injury, which, according to the above line of cases, would satisfy the notice requirement.

Cases following Beck have held that an indictment alleging “serious bodily injury” is sufficient notice of the state’s intent to seek a deadly weapon finding, if the indictment also alleged the serious bodily injury was caused by some act or instrument. See Ex parte Brown, 773 S.W.2d 332, 333 (Tex.Crim.App.1989) (<HOLDING>); Gilbert v. State, 769 S.W.2d at 536-37
