Machado v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Machado v. State, 767 S.W.2d 809 (Tex. Crim. App. 1989)
1989 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 66; 1989 WL 30513

Machado v. State

Opinion of the Court

OPINION ON STATE’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted by a jury for arson and punishment, enhanced, was set at 25 years confinement. The conviction was reversed and an acquittal ordered on appeal. Machado v. State, 753 S.W.2d 252 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st] 1988). The State filed a petition for discretionary review raising one ground for review.

We have considered the issue raised and find that the Court of Appeals reached the correct result. The petition for discretionary review will be refused. As is true in every case where this Court refuses a petition for discretionary review, this refusal does not constitute endorsement or adoption of the reasoning employed by the Court of Appeals. See Sheffield v. State, 650 S.W.2d 813 (Tex.Cr.App. 1983).

With this understanding, we refuse the State’s petition for discretionary review.
