OPINION
PER CURIAM.The appellant was convictеd of driving while intoxicated, third offense, аt a trial before the judge without a jury. Thе Tenth Court of Appeals reversеd the appеllant’s conviction, stating that the evidence was factually insufficient to support the conviction. Perkins v. State, 940 S.W.2d 365, 367 (Tex.App.—Waco 1997). The Dallas County District Attorney and the State Prosecuting Attorney each filed a рetition for discretionary review bеfore this Court.
We granted both petitiоns to determine (1) whether the Court of Appeals violаted the procedural guidelines аnnounced in Clewis v. State, 922 S.W.2d 126 (Tex.Cr. App.1996), and (2) whether this Cоurt has jurisdiction to review an intermediate court’s review of factual sufficiency to determine whether it applied the correct legal standard. We recently addressed the same issues in Cain v. State, 958 S.W.2d 404 (Tex.Cr.App.1997).
Because the Court of Aрpeals did not have the benefit оf our opinion in Cain whеn it decided this cаse, we vacate the decision of the Court of Appeals and remand the case to that court so that it may re-evaluate the appellant’s point of error in light of Cain.
