Description
Appellant was convicted by a jury of two separate offenses of possession of a controlled substance, to-wit: possession of less than 28 grams of lysergic acid diethylamide (L.S.D.) and possession of less than 28 grams of cocaine. V.T.C.A. Health and Safety Code, Sec. 481.115(b). The offenses were tried in a single trial. The trial judge assessed punishment at eight years imprisonment for each offense, the sentences to run concurrently. The Court of Appeals affirmed appellants conviction in a published opinion. Joseph v. State, 759 S.W.2d 770 (Tex.App. -- San Antonio 1987). In his petition, appellant raised three grounds for review, but we granted only one ground which states: "The Court of Appeals opinion affirming the admission before a jury of incriminating statements in a letter seized by a police officer from within an envelope located while opening and reading all the appellants mail during the execution of a warrant to search the appellants residence for marijuana is a dangerous precedent in conflict with prior law." Tex.R.App.Pro. 200(c)(3). We will reverse and remand.
