OPINION

MARTHA HILL JAMISON, Justice.

Appellant Joseph Delafuente was charged with Class B misdemeanor possession of marijuana. See Tex. Health & Safety Code § 481.121. Appellant filed a motion to suppress, alleging that the evidence against him was obtained during a *732traffic stop initiated without probable cause or reasonable suspicion. The trial court denied appellant’s motion. Having found no specific, articulable facts in the record that would support reasonable suspicion for the traffic stop, we reverse and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
