Court of Appeals
                         Sixth Appellate District of Texas

                                    JUDGMENT

Edwin Antonio Osorio-Lopez, Appellant                  Appeal from the 115th District Court of
                                                       Upshur County, Texas (Tr. Ct. No. 17927).
No. 06-18-00198-CR         v.                          Memorandum Opinion delivered by Justice
                                                       van Cleef, Chief Justice Stevens and Justice
The State of Texas, Appellee
                                                       Rambin participating.

       As stated in the Court’s opinion of this date, we find reversible error in the judgment of
the court below. Therefore, we reverse the trial court’s competency determination and remand
for a new retrospective competency trial. The trial court is instructed to appoint counsel—who
will not be a potential witness at that trial—to represent Osorio-Lopez at the retrospective
competency trial.
       We further order that the appellee, the State of Texas, pay all costs of this appeal.

                                                       RENDERED APRIL 28, 2023
                                                       BY ORDER OF THE COURT
                                                       SCOTT E. STEVENS
                                                       CHIEF JUSTICE
