*1 IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-16-00280-CR AMANDA CHRISTINE ADAMS,
Appellant v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee From the 19th District Court McLennan County, Texas Trial Court No. 2016-395-C1 MEMORANDUM OPINION
Amanda Christine Adams entered an open plea of guilty to the offense of possession with intent to deliver tetrahydrocannabinol within one thousand feet of a school, a drug free zone. The trial court assessed punishment at ten years confinement.
We reverse and remand for a new hearing on punishment.
In the first issue, Adams argues that the trial court abused its discretion on the issue of punishment because she was not permitted to present evidence prior to the *2 pronouncement of her sentence. The State concedes that the trial court erred by failing to allow Adams to present evidence relevant to sentencing before sentence was pronounced citing T EX . C ODE C RIM . P ROC . A NN . 37.07 Sec. 3 (a) (1) (West Supp. 2016); Borders v. State , 846 S.W.2d 834, 835 (Tex.Crim.App. 1992). We sustain Adams’s first issue on appeal. Because of our disposition of the first issue, we need not address the second issue on appeal. [1] T EX .R.A PP .P. 47.1.
We reverse the trial court’s sentence imposed and remand the cause back to the trial court for a new hearing on punishment.
