Moore v. Texas (Original)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Jamie Moore challenged the court of appeals' decision to affirm the trial court's judgment that included an order cumulating his sentence in this case for possession of methamphetamine with an earlier sentence he had received for possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone. The trial court and court of appeals determined that cumulation of the sentences was mandatory under Texas Health and Safety Code section 481.134(h). Because the record did not support mandatory cumulation under that provision and because the record revealed that the trial court did not otherwise intend to cumulate the sentences, the Court of Criminal Appeals modified the judgment of the court of appeals to delete the cumulation order and affirmed the judgment as modified.
