Jackson v. State

Cadell Jackson was convicted on two separate indictments, each charging him with delivery of a controlled substance. The two cases were tried together before the same jury. After finding Jackson guilty on both charges, the jury assessed punishment at two years confinement on each charge. The trial court sentenced Jackson to serve the two periods of confinement consecutively rather than concurrently. Jackson contends the trial court erred by ordering his sentence in cause number 26,267-B be "stacked" onto his sentence from the offense of delivery of a controlled substance, cause number 26,269-B. The consecutive sentence is erroneous, and we will reform the judgment.
