OPINION ON STATE’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted by a jury ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‍for credit card abuse and sentenced to 2 years probation. The trial court imposed 20 days confinement in the county jail as a condition of ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‍probation. The conviction was reversed and the case was remanded on appeal. Norton v. State, 755 S.W.2d 522 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st] 1988).

We have considered the issues 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, the State’s petition for discretionary review is refused.
