Robert Shayne Kinslow, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In May 2011, in Red River County, Texas, Robert Shayne Kinslow was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for two charges of indecency with a child. On the same day, Kinslow was convicted of one charge of burglary and sentenced to two years' confinement, but that sentence was suspended, and he was placed on community supervision for a period of five years.
In November 2013, the State moved to adjudicate guilt and revoke Kinslow's community supervision. After a hearing, the trial court adjudicated Kinslow guilty of the two counts of indecency with a child, sentencing him to two consecutive twenty-year terms, and revoked his community supervision on his burglary conviction, sentencing him to two years' confinement. In this case, Kinslow appeals the adjudication of guilt regarding one count of indecency with a child. He has appealed from the adjudication of guilt on the other indecency charge under our cause number 06–14–00083–CR and from the revocation of his community supervision on the burglary conviction under our cause number 06–14–00085–CR.
Kinslow has filed a single brief, in which he raises issues common to all of his appeals. He contends that the trial court erred: (1) by failing to conduct a sentencing hearing after adjudicating him guilty and (2) by assessing attorney fees against him.
We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date in Kinslow's appeal in cause number 06–14–00083–CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that the judgment in this case should be modified to delete the award of attorney fees and affirmed, as modified.
