OPINION

RICKHOFF, Justice.

K.L.C. brings this appeal from a judgment and disposition order entered pursuant to the determinate sentencing provisions of the Juvenile Justice Code. In two points of error, he argues that the juvenile court was without jurisdiction to impose a determinate sentence and that the court failed to admonish him as required by the Juvenile Justice Code. Although we conclude that the court had jurisdiction to impose the determinate sentence, we must reverse the judgment because the court failed to admonish K.L.C. properly.
