OPINION

Opinion by Justice MOSELEY.

Edward Joseph Moya, convicted of the manslaughter death 1 of Jocelyn Roberts, was sentenced to ten years’ incarceration in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice — Correctional Institutions Division. On his appeal, Moya raises two complaints: (1) he maintains that there was an unnecessary delay by the law enforcement officers who arrested him before they took him before a magistrate, and (2) he posits that the evidence that he acted recklessly is not legally sufficient to sustain his conviction.
