On Appeal from the County Criminal Court at Law No. 10

CONCURRING OPINION

I join the plurality’s opinion on the first issue—whether the trial court improperly commented on the weight of the evidence.  But, because it is unclear that the plurality applied the correct standard of review in its harm analysis, I merely concur with its treatment of the second issue.  Whether the correct standard of review in the second issue is that applied by the plurality, the “reasonably substantial relationship” test, or, as the dissent maintains, the standard under Rule 44.2(a), I believe the result would be the same—there was no harm.  The judgment should be affirmed.
