V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
------------
FROM THE 297TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
------------
MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]
------------
A jury convicted Appellant Cheryle Taylor Wiggins of felony driving while intoxicated and assessed her punishment at sixteen years= confinement and a $10,000 fine. The trial court sentenced her accordingly. In her sole point, Appellant contends that the trial court erred by ordering that she pay court costs and attorney=s fees as a condition of parole. The trial court did not so order but merely Arecommend[ed] that any unpaid amounts be added as a condition of parole,@ which is permissible.[2] [Emphasis added.] We therefore overrule Appellant=s sole point and affirm the trial court=s judgment.
