OPINION ON STATE’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted by a jury ‍‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‍for arson and punishment, enhanced, was set at 25 years confinement. The conviction was reversed and an acquittal ordered on appeal. Machado v. State, 753 S.W.2d ‍‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‍252 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st] 1988). The State filed a petition for discretionary review raising one ground for review.

We have considered the issue raised and find that the ‍‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‍Court of Appeals reached the correct result. The petition for discretionary review will be refused. As is true in every case where this Court refuses ‍‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‍a petition for discretionary review, this refusal does not constitute endorsement or adoption of the reasoning employed by the Court of Appeals. See Sheffield v. ‍‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‍State, 650 S.W.2d 813 (Tex.Cr.App.1983).

With this understanding, we refuse the State’s petition for discretionary review.
