Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
JUDGMENT RENDERED JUNE 23, 2023
NO. 03-20-00138-CR
Danielle Leigh Edwards, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
APPEAL FROM THE 421ST DISTRICT COURT OF CALDWELL COUNTY BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE BYRNE, JUSTICES BAKER AND SMITH MODIFIED AND, AS MODIFIED, AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED AND REMANDED IN PART ON REMAND – OPINION BY JUSTICE BAKER
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 portion of the
judgment finding guilt that requires reversal. However, there was error in that portion of the
judgment that requires correction. Therefore, the Court modifies the trial court’s judgment to
reflect a conviction for the state-jail felony offense of endangering a child. The trial court’s
judgment of conviction, as modified, is affirmed. However, the Court reverses the portion of the
judgment imposing sentence and remands the case to the trial court for a new punishment
hearing on the lesser-included offense. Because appellant is indigent and unable to pay costs, no
adjudication of costs is made.
