Opinion
In the Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-24-00031-CR
REGINALD REECE, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 5th District Court Bowie County, Texas Trial Court No. 20F0292-005
Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice van Cleef MEMORANDUM OPINION
Reginald Reece pled guilty to theft of property valued at less than $2,500.00.1 He was
sentenced to thirteen years’ confinement in prison. The trial court ordered Reece’s sentence to
run consecutively with two other theft convictions in which he was also sentenced to thirteen
years in prison.2 Via a consolidated brief, Reece appeals, arguing that (1) the trial court abused
its discretion when it ordered his sentences to run consecutively, rather than concurrently, and
(2) the trial court did not give him the correct amount of jail-time credit. In addition to its
response to Reece’s points of error, the State also presented a cross-point of error, maintaining,
among other things, that Reece did not have a right of appeal because the “records did, and could
not, contain certificates of . . . appeal” since, according to the State, Reece entered pleas of guilty
in each case.3
We addressed Reece’s arguments and the State’s cross-point of error in detail in our
opinion in appellate court cause number 06-24-00029-CR, and we apply the same legal standard
and analysis here as we did in that case.
We modify the trial court’s judgment in trial court cause number 20F0292-005 by
deleting the word “CONSECUTIVELY” from the “THIS SENTENCE SHALL RUN:” section
and modifying that section to state, “THIS SENTENCE SHALL RUN: AFTER REECE HAS
1 In this case, Reece appeals his conviction in trial court cause number 20F0292-005. 2 In our appellate court cause number 06-24-00029-CR, Reece appeals his theft conviction in trial court cause number 21F0725-005. Likewise, in our appellate court cause number 06-24-00030-CR, Reece appeals his theft conviction in trial court cause number 20F0970-005. 3 For the reasons stated in our opinion in appellate court cause number 06-24-00029-CR, we overrule the State’s cross-point of error. 2 SERVED HIS THIRTEEN-YEAR SENTENCE IN TRIAL COURT CAUSE NUMBER
21F0725-005; THIS SENTENCE SHALL RUN CONCURRENTLY WITH REECE’S
SENTENCE IN TRIAL COURT CAUSE NUMBER 20F0970-005.”
We affirm the trial court’s judgment, as modified.
