FROM THE 396TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY;

 

NO. 1172868R; HONORABLE GEORGE WILLIAM GALLAGHER, PRESIDING

 

 

Memorandum Opinion

 

 

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.

            After a jury trial, Michael Anthony Foster was convicted of serious bodily injury to a child.  He seeks reversal of that conviction because the trial court denied him the right of self-representation.  We reverse the judgment.

            Via letter dated July 14, 2010, the State conceded that the trial court erred by denying appellant his right to self-representation and that the error was not subject to a harm analysis.  Given this concession, we reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the cause for further proceedings.
