Reginald Reece v. the State of Texas

Opinion

Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas

JUDGMENT

Reginald Reece, Appellant Appeal from the 5th District Court of Bowie County, Texas (Tr. Ct. No. No. 06-22-00026-CR v. 21F0725-005). Opinion delivered by Justice van Cleef, Chief Justice Stevens and The State of Texas, Appellee Justice Rambin participating.

As stated in the Court’s opinion of this date, we find reversible error in the judgment of the court below. While we affirm Reece’s conviction, we reverse the trial court’s judgment because it contains an illegal sentence, and we remand the case to the trial court for a new punishment trial. We note that the appellant, Reginald Reece, has adequately indicated his inability to pay costs of appeal. Therefore, we waive payment of costs.
