TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
JUDGMENT RENDERED MARCH 13, 2015
NO. 03-12-00730-CR
Johnny Gabriel Castro, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
APPEAL FROM 403RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE, JUSTICES PURYEAR AND GOODWIN
AFFIRMED IN PART; VACATED IN PART -- OPINION BY CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE
This is an appeal from the judgment of conviction entered by the trial court. Having reviewed
the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was error in the trial court’s
judgment of conviction for both capital murder and murder of the same victim. Therefore, the
Court vacates the conviction and sentence for the lesser-included offense of murder and affirms
the trial court’s judgment of conviction in all other respects. Because appellant is indigent and
unable to pay costs, no adjudication of costs is made.
