JUSTIN TIRRELL WILLIAMS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS


ON APPELLANT'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW FROM THE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS HARRIS COUNTY

Per curiam.

OPINION

We granted appellant's petition for discretionary review to determine whether the court of appeals erred in upholding a court cost fee of $5 for "Release." Having examined the record and briefs, we conclude that our decision to grant review was improvident. We therefore dismiss appellant's petition for discretionary review as improvidently granted.
