ON STATE'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
FROM THE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS
HARRIS COUNTY
Per curiam .
OPINION
Appellant was convicted of aggravated assault and sentenced to 10 years in prison. On appeal, he argued, among other things, that the evidence was insufficient to support the $279 in court costs assessed against him in the judgment. The Court of Appeals agreed, relying on its opinion in Johnson v. State, 389 S.W.3d 513 (Tex. App. - Houston [14 Dist.] 2012). Woods v. State, No. 14-12-00775-CR, 2013 Tex. App. LEXIS 9396 (Tex. App. - Houston [14 Dist.] July 30, 2013) (not designated for publication).
The State has filed a petition for discretionary review of this decision. We recently handed down our opinion in Johnson v. State, No. PD-0193-13, 2014 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 240 (Tex. Crim. App. February 26, 2014), in which we set forth a roadmap for resolving questions regarding court costs. See also Cardenas v. State, No. PD-0733-13, 2014 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 236 (Tex. Crim. App. February 26, 2014).
The Court of Appeals in the instant case did not have the benefit of our opinion in Johnson. Accordingly, we grant the State's petition for discretionary review, vacate the judgment of the Court of Appeals, and remand this case to the Court of Appeals in light of our opinion in Johnson. No motion for rehearing will be entertained. DO NOT PUBLISH
