                                MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]
 
                                              ------------

A jury
convicted Appellant Cheryle Taylor Wiggins of felony driving while intoxicated
and assessed her punishment at sixteen years=
confinement and a $10,000 fine.  The
trial court sentenced her accordingly. 
In her sole point, Appellant contends that the trial court erred by
ordering that she pay court costs and attorney=s fees
as a condition of parole.  The trial
court did not so order but merely Arecommend[ed] that
any unpaid amounts be added as a condition of parole,@ which
is permissible.[2]  [Emphasis added.]  We therefore overrule Appellant=s sole
point and affirm the trial court=s
judgment.
