Description
Appeal follows conviction, upon a plea of nolo contendere, for the offense of aggravated assault wherein the trial court assessed punishment at confinement in the Texas Department of Corrections for ten years. Imposition of the sentence was, however, suspended and appellant placed on probation for a period of ten years. The victim of the assault is a peace officer against whose person appellant caused the motor vehicle operated by him to collide, with serious injuries resulting. In the sole ground of error presented, complaint is made that the trial court abused its discretion and committed reversible error in setting restitution in this cause at $36,000.00 in that there was no probative evidence to support that amount. Though we are constrained to agree that the trial court did err in setting the amount of restitution as it did, a reversal of the instant conviction does not necessarily follow. We will abate the appeal, set aside the amount of restitution and remand for an evidentiary hearing to determine the amount of restitution to be ordered paid by appellant.
