EX PARTE BRENDA JOYCE FRANKLIN, Applicant



Application for habeas corpus relief from case 700538-C of

the 339th Judicial District Court of

Harris County

Womack, J., filed a concurring opinion.



I agree with the judge of the convicting court that the punishment in this case exceeded that which was permitted by the version of Penal Code section 12.35 that was in effect on August 10, 1995, (1) and that State v. Mancuso, 919 S.W.2d 86 (Tex. Cr. App. 1996), is authority for granting the applicant a new punishment hearing.

I concur in the judgment.
