IN THE COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS,

AT AUSTIN

 

NO. 3-92-054-CR

ROBERT AKERS,

	APPELLANT

vs.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

	APPELLEE

 

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 0911661, HONORABLE WILFORD FLOWERS, JUDGE PRESIDING
 

PER CURIAM
	A jury found appellant guilty of driving while intoxicated, felony offense, and
assessed punishment at imprisonment for five years and a $2000 fine.  Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann.
art. 6701l-1 (West Supp. 1992).  In his first point of error, appellant urges that he is entitled to
a new trial because he has been deprived of a complete appellate record because an trial exhibit
has been lost.  Appellant relies on Durrough v. State, 693 S.W.2d 403 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985),
and Sheffield v. State, 777 S.W.2d 743 (Tex. App.--Beaumont 1989, no pet.).  But see Webb v.
State, 760 S.W.2d 263, 276 n.19 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988).  The State confesses error and
concedes that reversal is required.
	Point of error one is sustained.  As a result, we need not reach points of error two
and three.  The judgment of conviction is reversed and the cause is remanded to the trial court.
