DOUGLAS, Judge
(concurring).
To that part of the majority opinion that holds that the trial court did not have authority to resentence the appellant after the appellate record had reached this Court, I concur. The trial court had lost jurisdiction and no motion to abate the appeal for resentencing appears in the record.
However, I do not agree that Article 6.-01(c) of the Texas Controlled Substances Act, which provides for resentencing, is unconstitutional for the reasons stated in the dissenting opinion in Ex parte Giles, Tex.Cr.App., 502 S.W.2d 774 (1973).
