analysis. See Tex.R.App.P. 81(b)(2).

          A jury found Appellant guilty of aggravated possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance: cocaine, and assessed his punishment at twenty years in prison and a $50,000 fine. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. sec. 481.112(d) (Vernon 1991).

          During the punishment phase, evidence was admitted concerning an unadjudicated offense relating to the possession of cocaine in the amount of 245 grams. This alleged offense occurred approximately five months after his arrest in this case. Based on the record as a whole, we cannot determine beyond a reasonable doubt that the admission of this unadjudicated offense at the punishment phase did not contribute to the Appellant's twenty-year sentence and the maximum fine, $50,000. See Tex.R.App.P. 80(b)(2).

          Accordingly, we deny the State's motion for a rehearing.
