                                              Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter

                                                     MEMORANDUM 
OPINION
 
            James
Sunny Burton appeals his conviction and sentence for the offense of possession
or transport of certain chemicals with intent to manufacture a controlled
substance.  Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.124 (Vernon 2010).  In a single proceeding before the trial
court, Burton pled guilty to this charge and was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment.  At the same time, he pled guilty to the
offense of possession of one gram or less of a controlled substance,
methamphetamine, and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment.  We sustain Burton’s second point of error for
the reasons set forth in our opinion in the companion case, Burton v. State, cause number 06-10-00199-CR,
and reverse the judgment and remand to the trial court for further proceedings.  Please see our opinion in that case for a
detailed examination of the issues and law governing these cases.[1]
