analysis.  See
Tex.R.App.P. 81(b)(2).
          A jury found Appellant guilty of aggravated possession with intent to deliver a controlled
substance: cocaine, and assessed his punishment at twenty years in prison and a $50,000 fine.  See
Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. sec. 481.112(d) (Vernon 1991).
          During the punishment phase, evidence was admitted concerning an unadjudicated offense
relating to the possession of cocaine in the amount of 245 grams.  This alleged offense occurred
approximately five months after his arrest in this case.  Based on the record as a whole, we cannot
determine beyond a reasonable doubt that the admission of this unadjudicated offense at the
punishment phase did not contribute to the Appellant's twenty-year sentence and the maximum
fine, $50,000.  See Tex.R.App.P. 80(b)(2).
          Accordingly, we deny the State's motion for a rehearing.
