OPINION

OSBORN, Justice.

Robert Hernandez Garcia was convicted of burglary of a habitation with intent to commit the crime of indecency with a child. The jury assessed his punishment at fifty years confinement. In a companion case, he appeals his conviction on three separate counts of indecency with a child in which the punishment was assessed at ten years confinement on each count. We reverse and remand.

The Appellant does not question the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict of the jury. Therefore, we will only discuss the facts as they relate to specific grounds of error.
