IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. PD-0212-21

ELUID LIRA, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS ON STATE’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW FROM THE ELEVENTH COURT OF APPEALS JONES COUNTY Per Curiam.

ORDER Appellant was convicted of assault on a public servant and sentenced to eight years confinement. On March 11, 2021, the Court of Appeals reversed and remanded.

Lira v. State, No. 11-20-00148-CR slip op. (Tex. App.–Eastland March 11, 2021)(not designated for publication). The State electronically filed a petition for discretionary review with this Court on March 23, 2021. The petition was deemed filed on that date.

See T EX. R. A PP. P. 9.2(c) (electronically filed document deemed filed when transmitted LIRA - 2 to electronic filing service provider). On March 25, 2021, the Court of Appeals withdrew its opinion and issued another opinion in its place. Lira v. State, No. 11-20-00148 slip op. (Tex. App.–Eastland March 25, 2021)(published).

When a petition for discretionary review is filed with this Court, the appellate court loses jurisdiction. Ex parte Shaw, 395 S.W.3d 819, 819 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013); Garza v. State, 896 S.W.2d 192, 195 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). Therefore, the court of appeals did not have authority to issue its opinion on March 25, 2021, two days after the State electronically filed its petition for discretionary review with this Court.

The court of appeals’ opinion dated on March 25, 2021, is ordered withdrawn.

The original judgment and opinion of the court of appeals dated March11, 2021, remains in effect, except that its “do not publish” notation is hereby ordered changed to “publish.”
