The State raises one ground for review. We agree with the Court of Appeals that reversal is required. However, in their opinion, the San Antonio Court stated, "The appellant may, however, be retired for the lesser included offense of theft." As is true in every case where discretionary review is refused, this refusal does not constitute endorsement or adoption of the language or reasoning employed by the Court of Appeals.Sheffield v. State, 650 S.W.2d 813 (Tex.Cr.App. 1983).
With this understanding, we refuse the State's petition for discretionary review.
McCORMICK, J., would grant the State's petition for discretionary review.
DUNCAN, J., not participating.
