OPINION
BEA ANN SMITH, Justice.
Our opinion and judgment issued on May 4, 2006, are withdrawn, and the following opinion is substituted.
A jury found appellant Daniel Ray Mendez guilty of aggravated assault and assessed punishment, enhanced by a previous felony conviction, at imprisonment for twenty years. See Tex. Pen.Code Ann. § 22.02 (West Supp.2005). Mendez contends that he was denied his right to a speedy trial, his retrial following an earlier mistrial constituted double jeopardy, and his punishment was unlawfully enhanced. We will remand for a new punishment hearing.
