In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-19-00186-CR RICHARD LEE PERCIVILL, JR., Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 124th District Court Gregg County, Texas Trial Court No. 48,443-B Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION Richard Lee Percivill, Jr., was indicted in two separate indictments for family violence assault. The two cases were tried together, and he entered a plea of guilty to both indictments and a plea of true to the indictments’ enhancement allegations of having a prior conviction for family violence assault. The trial court found him guilty and, after a hearing on punishment, sentenced him to five years in prison for each of the two offenses, with the sentences to run concurrently. In this appeal from his second conviction for family violence assault, Percivill argues that the statute imposing the $25.00 time payment fee reflected in the judgment and bill of costs is facially unconstitutional.1 For the reasons stated in our opinion of this date in cause number 06-19-00185-CR, we need not address Percivill’s constitutional argument, we conclude that the imposition of a time payment fee was premature, and we modify the bill of costs and the trial court’s judgment by deleting the time payment fee. As modified, the trial court’s judgment is affirmed. Josh R. Morriss, III Chief Justice Date Submitted: Date Decided: June 8, 2021 July 23, 2021 Do Not Publish 1 The State did not oppose Percivill’s arguments on appeal. 2
