Federico Vallejo v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 331st District Court of Travis County

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS,
AT AUSTIN
NO. 3-93-683-CR
FEDERICO VALLEJO,

APPELLANT

 
vs.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,

APPELLEE

 
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 331ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 0921738, HONORABLE BOB PERKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

A jury found appellant guilty of aggravated kidnapping. Penal Code, 63d Leg., R.S., ch. 399, sec. 1, 20.04, 1973 Tex. Gen. Laws 883, 915 (Tex. Penal Code Ann. 20.04, since amended). The district court assessed punishment at imprisonment for ten years.

By a single point of error, appellant contends he is entitled to a new trial because the statement of facts does not contain the individual voir dire examination of the jury panel. Tex. R. App. P. 50(e). Appellant timely requested a statement of facts including the individual voir dire. Appellant has filed a motion to supplement the record supported by an affidavit from the court reporter stating that he has lost his notes from the voir dire examination and is therefore unable to complete the statement of facts. The State concedes that appellant has shown himself entitled to a new trial under Rule 50(e). See Culton v. State, 852 S.W.2d 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993).

The point of error is sustained. The judgment of conviction is reversed and the cause is remanded to the district court for a new trial.
