Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

JUDGMENT RENDERED FEBRUARY 26, 2020

NO. 03-19-00085-CR

Esaia Kemuel Morris, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

APPEAL FROM THE 22ND DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE, JUSTICES TRIANA AND SMITH MODIFIED AND, AS MODIFIED, AFFIRMED -- OPINION BY JUSTICE SMITH

This is an appeal from the judgment of conviction entered by the trial court. Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was no error in the court’s judgment requiring reversal. However, there was error in the judgment that requires correction.

Therefore, the Court modifies the trial court’s judgment to reflect that the “Statute for Offense” is “19.02(b), (c) Penal Code.” Further, the Court modifies the judgment to delete the reference to the bill of costs as to the fee for “Attorney Fees” and deletes the $22,739.25 attributed to court-appointed attorney’s fees from the bill of costs. The judgment of conviction, as modified, is affirmed. Because appellant is indigent and unable to pay costs, no adjudication of costs is made.
