Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

JUDGMENT RENDERED DECEMBER 30, 2021

NO. 03-19-00882-CR

Christopher Lee Castro, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

APPEAL FROM THE 453RD DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY BEFORE JUSTICES GOODWIN, TRIANA, AND SMITH MODIFIED AND, AS MODIFIED, AFFIRMED -- OPINION BY JUSTICE GOODWIN DISSENTING OPINION BY JUSTICE TRIANA

This is an appeal from the judgments 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 judgments requiring reversal. However, there was error in the judgment for Count II that requires correction. Therefore, the Court modifies the trial court’s judgment for Count II to reflect that the jury made a finding of “true” on the first enhancement paragraph. The judgment for Count II, as modified, and the judgments for the other counts are affirmed. Because appellant is indigent and unable to pay costs, no adjudication of costs is made.
