MICHAEL ANTHONY FOSTER,

Appellant v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

Appellee ___________________________

FROM THE 396TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY;

NO. 1172868R; HONORABLE GEORGE WILLIAM GALLAGHER, PRESIDING

Memorandum Opinion

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.

After a jury trial, Michael Anthony Foster was convicted of serious bodily injury to

a child. He seeks reversal of that conviction because the trial court denied him the right

of self-representation. We reverse the judgment.

Via letter dated July 14, 2010, the State conceded that the trial court erred by

denying appellant his right to self-representation and that the error was not subject to a harm analysis. Given this concession, we reverse the judgment of the trial court and

remand the cause for further proceedings.
