Description
On original submission, we remanded this cause to the trial court with instructions that the complaint and information charging appellant with driving while intoxicated (DWI) be dismissed. Applying Grady v. Corbin, 495 U.S. 508, 510, 109 L. Ed. 2d 548, 110 S. Ct. 2084 (1990), as understood by this Court in State v. Houth, 845 S.W.2d 853 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992), we held that appellants prior conviction for speeding was a jeopardy bar to her subsequent prosecution for DWI. The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari to review this holding. It then overruled Grady in an unrelated case, Dixon v. United States, 509 U.S. , 113 S. Ct. 2849, 125 L. Ed. 2d 556, 53 Cr.L. 2291 (1993), summarily vacated our judgment in this cause without reaching the merits, and remanded to us for reconsideration in light of Dixon. It is to that task which we now turn.
