Mayfield v. State

OPINION

Opinion by

Justice CORNELIUS

(Retired).

Jerry Dean Mayfield was convicted, in a jury trial, of delivery of cocaine. The jury assessed his punishment, enhanced by two prior convictions, at ten years’ imprisonment and a $10,000.00 fine.

On appeal, Mayfield raises only one issue. He contends the trial court erred in granting the State’s motion to abandon certain portions of the indictment. He contends the State’s abandonment actually amounted to an amendment of the indictment and was improper according to Tex. Code CRiM. PROC. Ann. art. 28.10 (Vernon 1989). We disagree and affirm the judgment.
