Opinion

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.
