                     MAX ALEXANDER SOFFAR, Appellant

                                         v.

                             THE STATE OF TEXAS

                        ON DIRECT APPEAL
         FROM CAUSE NO. 319724 IN THE 232ND DISTRICT COURT
                         HARRIS COUNTY

      K EASLER, J., filed a concurring opinion in which H ERVEY, J., joined.

                            CONCURRING OPINION

      I join the Court’s opinion with the exception of point of error twenty-seven.

Consistent with my dissenting opinion to the Court’s decision to improvidently grant

rehearing in Thompson v. State, I would hold that there was no error under Maine v.
                                                   SOFFAR CONCURRING OPINION—2

Moulton.1 I further urge the majority of the Court to reconsider its understanding of this case

and other Supreme Court precedent.
