MEMORANDUM OPINION

Ken Wise, Justice

Appellant Jorge Guerrero was accused of committing aggravated assault with a deadly weapon when he was sixteen; The juvenile court transferred appellant to criminal district court, where he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment. On appeal, appellant contends that the juvenile court abused its discretion when it waived jurisdiction over him and therefore the district court lacked jurisdiction to render its judgment. We vacate the judgment of the criminal district court, dismiss the case, and- return the case to the juvenile court.
