No. 08-02-00182-CR
 
Appeal from the

  District Court
 
of El
  Paso County, Texas

O
P I N I O N
 
This is an appeal
from the trial court=s
denial of Appellant=s Motion
for Statement of Facts at County Expense. 
We reverse and remand.
In his sole issue
on appeal, Appellant contends that the court abused its discretion in denying
his motion for a reporter=s
record at county expense.  In response,
the State does not contest Appellant=s
assertion and does not oppose Appellant=s
request that the trial court be directed to furnish the appellate record to
Appellant without charge.  Accordingly,
we reverse the order of the trial court denying Appellant=s motion for a free reporter=s record and remand the 

cause to the trial court with
instructions to cause the preparation of the appellate record at county
expense.[1]
