OPINION

Opinion by:

Marialyn Barnard, Justice

Appellant, the State of Texas, appeals the trial court’s order granting appellee Raul Becerra Castorena’s motion to quash the indictment. On appeal, the State contends the trial court erred in granting the motion to quash because: (1) the indictment provided Castoreña with sufficient notice; and (2) Castoreña waived any complaint regarding the form and substance of the indictment by failing to object prior to trial. We reverse the trial court’s judgment and remand, for further proceedings.
