OPINION

DROWOTA, Justice.

In this case we are called upon to determine whether or not the trial court was in error in denying probation to defendant William Dale Travis, who pled guilty to the offense of involuntary manslaughter; and whether the Court of Criminal Appeals was correct in reversing such order of denial and ordering probation. As explained herein, we modify the latter order and remand to the trial court.
