On Appeal from the 416th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 416-81054-2013
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Stoddart
A jury convicted Gillermo Fernando Sanchez of criminal mischief by tampering with an
electric metering device without effective consent of the owner and causing pecuniary loss of
less than $20,000. The trial court assessed punishment at 180 days in jail, suspended the
sentence, placed Sanchez on community supervision for three years, and ordered restitution in
the amount of $2,153.29. Sanchez argues on appeal that the evidence is insufficient to support
his conviction, the restitution order is not supported by the record, and the jury charge failed to
include an instruction on the proper use of a statutory presumption. The State raises a cross-
point that the judgment should be modified to reflect the trial court’s pronouncement of two
years of community supervision and the name of Sanchez’s trial attorney. We modify the trial
court’s judgment and affirm as modified.
BACKGROUND
On December 30, 2012, Sanchez’s neighbor saw a man standing on the trunk of a car,
which was parked next to a utility pole. Afraid the man might be electrocuted, the neighbor
reported it to police. Officer Bryan Kile responded to the report and spoke with Sanchez.
Sanchez said the power was out at his home and he was removing a piece from the utility pole to
fix it. Kile collected the piece from the pole, took photographs, and contacted the director of
security at Oncor. A few days later, Kile again spoke with Sanchez. After being advised of his
Miranda rights, Sanchez denied attempting to steal electricity, but said he had been a lineman for
TXU for thirty years and knew how to accomplish what he was trying to do.
Jonathan Nichols, a revenue security employee of Oncor, went to Sanchez’s house on
December 31, 2012. Nichols took pictures of the meter and electrical connections at the house.
He saw that both the inner and outer seals on the meter had been removed. Nichols testified that
removing those seals is tampering and customers do not have consent from Oncor to take that
action. Nichols also noticed several wires running from the meter base. Although the wires
should have been located inside the conduit, they ran to an open breaker box on the patio wall,
indicating possible tampering. To alleviate the unsafe condition created by the stray wiring,
Nichols disconnected the electricity at the pole. In response, Sanchez told Nichols he was a
former TXU employee and would climb the pole and reconnect the power after Nichols left.
Nichols testified that a lineman would have the knowledge and ability to remove a meter and
divert electricity.
On the patio, Nichols found additional items, including a breaker and a broken part of the
meter base called a lug. He explained that a lug is part of the meter base that the meter plugs into
to make a connection allowing electricity to flow from the utility wires through the meter and
into the house. Lugs are designed to last for the life of the meter and a broken lug indicates the
meter has been removed repeatedly from the base. Lugs do not break due to normal repair
–2–
operations. A burned lug indicates either the spring steel has lost elasticity over time or that a
foreign object was placed into the meter. This creates a poor connection and causes the parts to
heat up.
The two lugs in the meter at Sanchez’s house were not from the same meter, indicating
one or both had been replaced. A lug is only replaced if it is broken or burned. While there are
reasons other than tampering that can cause a burned lug, Nichols was able to exclude those
reasons in this case. He testified that replacing a lug inside the meter base without consent
constitutes tampering. Only Oncor employees have permission to replace a lug or repair a meter.
Data obtained from Sanchez’s meter indicated it was removed from December 24,
through December 26, 2012, as well as parts of December 29 and December 30. Nichols
explained that during those times no power would flow into Sanchez’s house unless a jumper or
other conductor were installed in the meter base to complete the electrical connection.
Additional data obtained from the meter showed a total of 48 power outages between
October 2012 and December 31, 2012. However, Oncor’s records did not reflect a
corresponding number of service calls to Sanchez’s house during that time period.
Kenneth Scott Stanley, a measurement supervisor for revenue and security at Oncor,
assisted with the investigation. He explained that a significant reduction in average monthly
electrical usage is an indication of tampering. By examining historical data for Sanchez’s house,
Stanley found a large reduction in usage began to occur in February, 2005. He concluded that is
when the tampering began.
To determine Oncor’s monetary loss, Stanley analyzed Sanchez’s average monthly usage
from January 2004 through January 2005. From that data, he estimated the amount of electricity
Sanchez was using before the tampering was 1,000 kWh per month. Sanchez’s reported usage
after February 2005 was less than the monthly average before the tampering. The difference
between the monthly average and the reported usage represents Oncor’s loss. Oncor also
–3–
incurred fees of $419.75 for meter costs, locking devices, labor and transportation. Stanley
testified that Oncor’s monetary loss was less than $20,000. While some of the records in
evidence list Sanchez’s wife on the account, others indicate Sanchez called several times over
the years to report power outages, request repairs, complain that meter readings were wrong, and
to request billing adjustments.
Diane Hallmark, a paralegal in Oncor’s legal department, testified that Oncor is regulated
by the Public Utility Commission and owns the meters, poles, and equipment necessary to supply
electricity to the public. She testified that Oncor suffers monetary damage when a person
tampers with a meter and receives electricity without paying for it. She confirmed that a
customer is never given permission to divert the power supply or tamper with the Oncor’s
equipment.
At trial, Sanchez testified that on December 30, 2012, he observed fire and smoke
coming from the meter attached to his home. He turned the power off in the utility room then
went outside and pulled the meter off the base. He saw that a lug was burned. Sanchez did not
call TXU or Oncor about the meter or the fire. Nor did he call the fire department. Rather, he
admitted removing a lug from a meter on nearby property to replace the burned lug in his own
meter. Sanchez denied stealing electricity and denied breaking into his meter, but admitted he
knew how to tamper with a meter. Sanchez lived at the property for several years with his wife
and grandson. He had several gas appliances in the home, but admitted on cross-examination
that the appliances were installed before 2004 and would not explain the substantial change in
electricity usage in 2005.
ANALYSIS
A. Sufficiency of the Evidence
In his first issue, Sanchez argues the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction for
criminal mischief. In his second, he argues the trial court erred by denying his motion for
–4–
directed verdict based on insufficiency of the evidence.1 We discuss the issues together.
We review a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence in a criminal offense for which
the State has the burden of proof under the single sufficiency standard set forth in Jackson v.
Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (1979). Acosta v. State, 429 S.W.3d 621, 624–25 (Tex. Crim. App.
2014). Under this standard, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict and
determine whether any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the
offense beyond a reasonable doubt. Clayton v. State, 235 S.W.3d 772, 778 (Tex. Crim. App.
2011). This standard accounts for the factfinder’s duty to resolve conflicts in the testimony, to
weigh the evidence, and to draw reasonable inferences from basic facts to ultimate facts. Id.
Therefore, in analyzing legal sufficiency, we determine whether the necessary inferences are
reasonable based upon the combined and cumulative force of all the evidence when viewed in
the light most favorable to the verdict. Id. When the record supports conflicting inferences, we
presume the factfinder resolved the conflicts in favor of the verdict and therefore defer to that
determination. Id. Direct and circumstantial evidence are treated equally: circumstantial
evidence is as probative as direct evidence in establishing the guilt of an actor, and circumstantial
evidence alone can be sufficient to establish guilt. Id.
Sanchez was charged with criminal mischief under subsection 28.03(a)(2). TEX. PENAL
CODE ANN. § 28.03(a)(2). Under that subsection, a person commits criminal mischief if, without
effective consent of the owner, the person intentionally or knowingly tampers with tangible
property of the owner and causes pecuniary loss or substantial inconvenience to the owner or a
third person. Id. The offense is a state jail felony if the amount of pecuniary loss is less than
$20,000 and the actor causes the diversion in whole or in part “or in any manner, including
1
Sanchez asserts we may consider only the State’s evidence in reviewing the denial of his motion for
directed verdict. We disagree. The motion for directed verdict is a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence and
is reviewed based on all the evidence. See Cook v. State, 858 S.W.2d 467, 470 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993) (explaining
that court considers evidence presented at trial by both State and defense in determining sufficiency of evidence);
Castillo v. State, 79 S.W.3d 817, 823 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2002, pet. ref’d) (same).
–5–
installation or removal of any device for any such purpose, any public communications or public
gas or power supply.” Id. § 28.03(b)(4)(D).2 Pecuniary loss means, “A loss of money or of
something having monetary value.” Loss, BLACK’S LAW DICTIONARY (10th ed. 2014). Thus,
any amount of pecuniary loss less than $20,000 involving diversion of the public power supply is
a state jail felony. See Santana v. State, 59 S.W.3d 187, 193 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001) (“the
Legislature proscribed tampering with a public utility as conduct that is harmful in and of
itself”).3
Relying on subsections 28.06(a) and (b), which define the amount of pecuniary loss if
tangible property is destroyed or damaged, Sanchez contends that pecuniary loss under
subsection 28.03(a)(2) can only result from destruction or damage to tangible property. We
disagree. Section 28.03 provides three methods of committing criminal mischief.4 Sanchez was
charged with criminal mischief by tampering with tangible personal property and causing
pecuniary loss under 28.03(a)(2). TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 28.03(a)(2). An offense under this
subsection does not require damage to or destruction of the tangible personal property. The term
“tampers with” includes “conduct that falls short of damaging the property but nevertheless
interferes with the owner’s proprietary rights or abuses the property in a way that diminishes its
value.” Williams v. State, 596 S.W.2d 862, 865 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980) (emphasis added)
2
Section 28.03 was amended in 2015 to increase the amount of pecuniary loss necessary to determine the
grade of the offense. See Act of May 31, 2015, 84th Leg., R.S., ch. 1251, § 5, Tex. Sess. Law Serv. 4208, 4210
(West) (codified at TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 28.03). The amendment applies only to offenses committed on or
after the effective date and the former law is continued in effect for purposes of offenses committed before the
effective date. Id. § 30, 2015 Tex. Sess. Law Serv. at 4220. We refer to the law in effect at the time of the offense.
3
Even without a showing of pecuniary loss, a defendant may be guilty of criminal mischief under (a)(2) for
diversion of public utilities if the tampering caused substantial inconvenience. Id. at 192–93.
4
See Santana v. State, 59 S.W.3d 187, 191 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001) (contrasting offense under (a)(2) with
offenses under (a)(1) and (a)(3)). A person commits the offense under subsection (a)(1) by damaging or destroying
tangible property. TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 28.03(a)(1). Under subsection (a)(2), a person commits the offense by
tampering with tangible property and causing pecuniary loss. Id. § 28.03(a)(2). Under subsection (a)(3), a person
commits the offense by making markings on tangible property. Id. § 28.03(a)(3).
–6–
(discussing prior version of section 28.03 regarding interfering with telephone service).5
Because criminal mischief can be committed under section (a)(2) without damage or destruction
to tangible personal property, the statute cannot be read to require the State to prove pecuniary
loss solely in the form of damage or destruction to property. We will not presume the legislature
did a useless thing. See Hardy v. State, 963 S.W.2d 516, 520 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997) (courts
presume every word in statute has been used for a purpose and will give effect to each word,
phrase, clause, and sentence). We give the offense defined in section 28.03(a)(2) its plain and
ordinary meaning. See Boykin v. State, 818 S.W.2d 782, 785 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).
Moreover, Sanchez fails to read section 28.06 as a whole. Subsection (a) defines the
amount of pecuniary loss if property is destroyed; subsection (b) defines the amount of pecuniary
loss if property is damaged; and subsection (c) defines pecuniary loss as it relates to documents.
TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 28.06(a)–(c). Under the facts of this case, subsections (a)–(c) do not
apply. However, subsection (d) provides: “if the amount of pecuniary loss cannot be ascertained
by the criteria set forth in Subsections (a) through (c), the amount of pecuniary loss is deemed to
be greater than $500 but less than $1500.” Id. §28.06(d). Here, the amount of pecuniary loss
caused by tampering with tangible personal property cannot be determined by the criteria set out
in subsections (a) through (c) of section 28.06. Therefore, the amount is deemed to be greater
than $500 but less than $1,500.
Having determined that the State was not required to prove damage or destruction to
tangible property in order to establish pecuniary loss, we now consider whether there is sufficient
evidence to show that Sanchez tampered with his meter by diverting the public power supply
resulting in pecuniary loss of less than $20,000.00.

See also Howlett v. State, 994 S.W.2d 663, 665 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999) (diverting gas from flowing
through meter gauge); Robertson v. State, 888 S.W.2d 493, 494–95 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 1994, pet ref’d)
(diverting electricity from electrical wires and bypassing meter); Edmondson v. State, 747 S.W.2d 8, 9 (Tex. App.—
El Paso 1988, pet ref’d) (diverting gas from public gas line).
–7–
Here, the record contains evidence that Sanchez tampered with the Oncor meter at his
house. Nichols testified that the locking ring and inner and outer seals were removed before he
arrived. Sanchez admitted to Kile that he removed a piece from a nearby pole to “fix” his power
outage. Oncor did not consent to Sanchez “fixing” the meter at his house. The meter was
removed several times between October and December of 2012, but there were no corresponding
service calls made during that time period. There is also evidence of a significant and sustained
drop in electric usage from 2005 through 2012. Any electricity diverted from flowing through
the meter caused a pecuniary loss to Oncor. At a minimum, subsection 28.06(d) deems the value
of that pecuniary loss to be greater than $500 but less than $1,500. The jury could reasonably
infer Sanchez’s intent from his statements that he would reconnect the power supply after
Nichols left and his actions in “fixing” the meter without contacting the power company.
Viewing all the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, we conclude a rational
jury could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that without effective consent of the owner,
Sanchez intentionally or knowingly tampered with tangible personal property of Oncor, caused
pecuniary loss to Oncor, the amount of pecuniary loss was less than $20,000, and Sanchez
caused the diversion of the public power supply. See Clayton, 235 S.W.3d at 778. We overrule
Sanchez’s first and second issues.
B. Restitution Order
In his third issue, Sanchez argues the order for restitution is not supported by the record.
Specifically, he asserts that any restitution not attributable to damaged or destroyed tangible
personal property, such as lost revenue, improperly compensates Oncor for an offense other than
the one for which Sanchez was found criminally responsible. We disagree.
The purpose of restitution in a criminal case is to restore the victim to his or her position
before the offense and force the offender to address and remedy the specific harm caused. TEX.
CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 42.037; Burt v. State, 445 S.W.3d 752, 756 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014);
–8–
Hanna v. State, 426 S.W.3d 87, 91 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). We review restitution orders for an
abuse of discretion. Cartwright v. State, 605 S.W.2d 287, 288–89 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980). The
amount of restitution must be just, and it must have a factual basis within the loss of the victim.
Campbell v. State, 5 S.W.3d 693, 696 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999). A trial court may not order
restitution for an offense for which the defendant is not criminally responsible. Id. at 697. A
trial court may order restitution to any victim of the offense. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art.
42.037(a). For purposes of the restitution statute, a victim is any person who suffered loss as a
direct result of the criminal offense. Hanna, 426 S.W.3d at 94–95. Any dispute about the proper
amount or type of restitution shall be resolved by the trial court under a preponderance of the
evidence standard. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 42.037(k); Burt, 445 S.W.3d at 756 n.15.
In arriving at a restitution amount, the State utilized documents in evidence to determine
Sanchez’s monthly average power usage during the time of the tampering, from 2005 to 2012.
Then using bills from the 12 months before trial, the State calculated the average monthly power
usage without the tampering. The State then calculated the difference between the monthly
average without tampering and the monthly averages for the years with tampering. This
difference was multiplied by 12 cents per kilowatt hour cost of power supply as shown in the
documents. The trial court then subtracted a bill paid by Sanchez and arrived at a total amount
of restitution of $2,153.29.6
The amount of restitution ordered by the trial court represents a loss to Oncor resulting
from the diversion of power through the tampered meter at Sanchez’s residence. Sanchez
contends the loss of revenue does not pertain to tangible personal property and therefore
compensates Oncor for theft of service rather than criminal mischief. Because he was not
6
Oncor prepared a billing work sheet that showed the cost of 1,000 kWh at 12 cents per kWh for the period
from February 2005 through December 2012 totaled $11,400. Stanley testified the work sheet was merely an
estimate and that Oncor did not lose the full amount shown on the work sheet because Sanchez was using some
electricity during the time period. Stanley testified Oncor’s monetary loss was less than $20,000.
–9–
convicted for theft of service, Sanchez argues the restitution order is improper. We disagree. As
discussed above, the offense of criminal mischief is not limited to the damage or destruction of
tangible personal property. TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 28.03(a)(1). It also includes tampering
with tangible property and causing pecuniary loss. Id. § 28.03(a)(2). Sanchez was convicted
under section 28.03(a)(2) and the pecuniary loss caused by the diversion of electric power is the
amount that should have been paid for the electricity actually used. We conclude the amount of
restitution is supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record and the trial court did
not abuse its discretion.7 We overrule Sanchez’s third issue.
C. Charge Error Regarding Presumption
Sanchez’s fourth issue argues he suffered egregious harm from the omission of an
instruction regarding presumptions in the jury charge. Section 28.03(c) provides that “it shall be
presumed that a person who is receiving the economic benefit of public . . . power supply, has
knowingly tampered with the tangible property of the owner” if the power supply has been
diverted from passing through a metering device, prevented from being correctly registered by a
metering device, or activated by any device installed to obtain power without a metering device.
TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 28.03(c)(1). The jury was given an instruction regarding this
presumption, but was not given the instruction required by penal code section 2.05(a)(2)8 that the
7
The amount of restitution is not limited by the value range of the offense. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN.
§§ 28.03(b), 28.06(d). The court of criminal appeals rejected an argument that the value range determining the
grade of a theft offense limited the amount of restitution that could be ordered. See Campbell, 5 S.W.3d at 697–99
(holding trial court may determine from record that actual loss to victim exceeds property-value range for which jury
convicted defendant); see also TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 42.037(c) (trial court shall consider the amount of
the loss sustained by any victim and other factors the court deems relevant). “Conviction by the jury for a certain
property-value does not restrict the restitution amount that the trial judge might find to be the justified amount.”
Campbell, 5 S.W.3d at 698. We also conclude the amount of restitution is not limited by the pecuniary loss amounts
in sections 28.03(b) and 28.06 if the record supports that the victim suffered a greater loss.
8
Section 2.05(a)(2) provides that when a statute establishes a presumption as to any fact:
(2) if the existence of the presumed fact is submitted to the jury, the court shall charge the jury, in
terms of the presumption and the specific element to which it applies, as follows:
(A) that the facts giving rise to the presumption must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt;
(B) that if such facts are proven beyond a reasonable doubt the jury may find that the element of
–10–
facts giving rise to the presumption must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The State
concedes error in the jury charge, but contends Sanchez did not suffer egregious harm from that
error.
Because Sanchez failed to object to the jury charge on this basis, reversal is required only
if Sanchez suffered egregious harm. See Hollander v. State, 414 S.W.3d 746, 749 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2013); Almanza v. State, 686 S.W.2d 157, 171 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985) (op. on reh’g). In
determining whether the appellant suffered egregious harm, we consider: (1) the complete jury
charge; (2) the arguments of counsel; (3) the entirety of the evidence, including the contested
issues and weight of the probative evidence; and (4) any other relevant factors revealed by the
record as a whole. Hollander, 414 S.W.3d at 750. Neither party bears a burden of production or
persuasion regarding the Almanza harm analysis. Id.
The charge did not instruct the jury that facts giving rise to the presumption of tampering
must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. While the charge included a general instruction on
the State’s burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, that instruction “fails to educate jurors
with respect to the level of confidence they must have in the verity of the predicate facts before
they may rely on the presumption to convict.” Hollander, 414 S.W.3d at 750.
Here, unlike Hollander, the State did not rely on the presumption, argue it in closing, or
contrast it with the presumption of innocence. See Hollander v. State, 406 S.W.3d 567, 577
(Tex. App.—El Paso 2012), rev’d, 414 S.W.3d 746 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). While the
arguments of counsel did not inform the jury about the level of confidence in the predicate facts
the offense sought to be presumed exists, but it is not bound to so find;
(C) that even though the jury may find the existence of such element, the state must prove beyond
a reasonable doubt each of the other elements of the offense charged; and
(D) if the jury has a reasonable doubt as to the existence of a fact or facts giving rise to the
presumption, the presumption fails and the jury shall not consider the presumption for any
purpose.
TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 2.05(a)(2).
–11–
required to use the presumption, the arguments did not did not encourage the jury to rely on the
presumption. Hollander, 414 S.W.3d at 751.
Next, we consider the entirety of the evidence, the contested issues, and the weight of the
probative evidence. Id. at 750. The record shows that Sanchez was a person receiving the
economic benefit of the public power supply. He admitted living at the house for several years
with his wife and their grandson. He identified the property as his house and said the meter was
always located on the front of the house. The historical transaction records show that Sanchez
called Oncor several times over the years to report outages and incorrect meter readings, and
request billing adjustments. The record also indicates that tampering was not a contested issue.
Sanchez admitted removing the meter, breaking the seals, and fixing the lug inside the meter
base. Evidence was undisputed that Oncor did not give permission for customers to remove the
seals or repair the lugs inside the meter. Sanchez’s actions in “fixing” the meter were
intentional. He admitted having the knowledge necessary to repair a meter or the knowledge to
prevent a meter from measuring electricity usage. Although he denied stealing electricity, he
told Nichols he would climb the pole and reconnect the power supply after Nichols disconnected
it.
Data from the meter installed at the house in October 2012 showed forty-eight power
outages over a period of two and a half months, without a corresponding number of calls to
Oncor. Sanchez could only say he was home “off and on” for Christmas 2012. He did not offer
an explanation for why the meter was out of socket for over 24 hours beginning Christmas Eve
of 2012.
Sanchez presented evidence to explain some of the drop in his electricity usage. He
testified he and his wife were traveling back and forth to San Antonio to help their daughter with
her newborn son who had health issues, but he did not explain how long this travel lasted. He
also presented evidence of using non-electric appliances in the house, but admitted the
–12–
appliances were in his house before 2004 and their use would not account for the drop in usage
beginning in 2005.
The record does not disclose any other relevant factors. Considering the record as a
whole, the likelihood that a properly instructed jury would have found the predicate facts to the
requisite level of confidence is high. See Hollander, 414 S.W.3d at 751. We conclude from the
record as a whole Sanchez did not suffer egregious harm from the charge error. We overrule his
fourth issue.
D. Modification of Judgment
By cross-point, the State argues the written judgment does not accurately reflect the trial
court’s oral pronouncement of two years of community supervision and incorrectly identifies
Sanchez’s trial counsel. We note that the record supports these contentions and that Sanchez
agrees with the State’s cross-point.
When there is a conflict between the oral pronouncement of sentence and the sentence in
the written judgment, the oral pronouncement controls. Taylor v. State, 131 S.W.3d 497, 500
(Tex. Crim. App. 2004). This Court has the power to correct and reform the judgment of the trial
court to make the record speak the truth when it has the necessary information to do so. Asberry
v. State, 813 S.W.2d 526, 529 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1991, pet. ref’d). Accordingly, we modify the
trial court’s judgment to reflect the oral pronouncement of two years of community supervision
and the correct name of Sanchez’s trial attorney.

CONCLUSION
We have overruled all of Sanchez’s issues and sustained the State’s cross-point.
Accordingly, we modify the trial court’s judgment to reflect the oral pronouncement of two years
of community supervision and the name of Sanchez’s trial attorney. We affirm the trial court’s
judgment as modified.
