RICHARDS, Justice,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. While I agree with the majority that one of the sentences assessed must be deleted for reason of a double jeopardy violation, I do not believe that we should delete the greater sentence — -the fifteen-year sentence for aggravated assault. Rather, I believe the law dictates that we reform the judgment so as to delete the lesser sentence — the ten-year sentence for intoxication assault. See Landers v. State, 957 S.W.2d 558, 559-60 (Tex.Crim.App.1997).
