OPINION ON APPELLANT’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted by a jury of ‍​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‍contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The trial court assessed punishment, enhanced by one prior conviction, at thirty (30) days in the Harris County Jail. ‍​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‍Appellant’s conviction was affirmed on appeal. Axelrod v. State, 764 S.W.2d 296 (Tex.App.—Houston [1st] 1988).

We granted appellant’s petition for discretionary review to examine the following ground for review: “The Court ‍​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‍of Appeals erred in holding that the evidence was sufficient because there was no evidence of a voluntary act of omission by appellant as required by ‍​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‍section 6.01 of the Penal Code.”

After careful review of the briefs and the Court of Appeals’ opinion, we have determined that appellant’s petition for discretionary review ‍​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‍was improvidently granted.

Appellant’s petition for discretionary review is therefore ordered dismissed.
