Description
Before he was convicted and sentenced, Eric Don McGregor was in jail awaiting trial. He now complains in a single issue that the trial court erred by refusing to credit his pretrial jail time against the sentence he received. Specifically, appellant contends the trial court had no discretion to deny him credit for the time he served that exceeded the maximum punishment for his state-jail-felony offense. We agree with appellant. Accordingly, we resolve appellants issue in his favor, modify the trial courts judgment, and affirm the judgment as modified.
