Johnson, Beulah

Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS

No. PD-0748-14

BEULAH JOHNSON, Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS

ON STATE’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW FROM THE NINTH COURT OF APPEALS JEFFERSON COUNTY

Per curiam.

OPINION

Appellant was convicted of misdemeanor theft and sentenced to 180 days in jail. The

court of appeals reversed, holding that the prosecution was barred by the statute of

limitations. Johnson v. State, No. 09-13-00041-CR (Tex. App.–Beaumont, May 7, 2014)

(not designated for publication). The State petitioned this Court for discretionary review.

When the Court of Appeals issued its opinion in this case, it did so without the benefit

of this Court’s recent opinion in Ex parte Heilman, ___ S.W.3d ___; No. PD-1591-13 (Tex.

Crim App. March 18, 2015). Therefore, we vacate the judgment of the Court of Appeals and 2

remand for that court to consider the effect of Heilman, if any, on its reasoning and analysis

in this case.
