Rafael Alejandro Jr. v. the State of Texas

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth No. 02-24-00390-CR RAFAEL ALEJANDRO JR., Appellant § On Appeal from the 485th District Court § of Tarrant County (1656147) V. § September 25, 2025 § Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Sudderth THE STATE OF TEXAS § (nfp) JUDGMENT This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there was error in the trial court’s Count 1 judgment. The judgment for Count 1 is modified to delete (1) the $100 fine and (2) the following words from the special finding, “$290.00 COURT COSTS, REIMBURSEMENT FEES IN THE AMOUNT OF $20.00 AND $100.00 CHILD ABUSE FINE TO RUN CONCURRENT WITH SENTENCE.” It is ordered that the Count 1 judgment of the trial court is affirmed as modified. Because there was no error in the trial court’s Count 8 and Count 9 judgments, we affirm the trial court’s Count 8 and Count 9 judgments.

We modify the bill of costs to provide that the $290 in court costs and the $20 in reimbursement fees assessed against Alejandro are both due on his release from confinement.
