OPINION

KAPLAN, Justice.

The trial court convicted Derrick Fitzgerald Gords of possession with the intent to deliver cocaine. The court assessed punishment at eight years' confinement. Appellant contends that the police searched his car in violation of his federal and state constitutional rights and that the cocaine recovered during that search was inadmissible. We agree and reverse the judgment of the trial court.
