                                EASTLAND, TEXAS
                                    JUDGMENT

Eddie Barnes,                               * From the 244th District Court
                                              of Ector County,
                                              Trial Court No. C-18-0905-CR

Vs. No. 11-21-00155-CR                      * April 6, 2023

The State of Texas,                         * Opinion by Williams, J.
                                              (Panel consists of: Bailey, C.J.,
                                              Trotter, J., and Williams, J.)

     This court has inspected the record in this cause and concludes that there is
error in the judgment below. Therefore, in accordance with this court’s opinion,
we vacate Appellant’s felony murder conviction because it violates the Double
Jeopardy Clause, and we reverse the trial court’s judgment as to Count No. Two
and render a judgment of acquittal with respect to that count. With respect to
Count No. One, the lesser included offense of murder, we affirm the judgment of
the trial court.
