Before CARROLL, C.J., and JONES and KIDD, JJ.


JONES, Justice.

The State of Texas appeals a district-court order quashing one count of a four-count indictment against former state representative Betty Denton, appellee. Tex.Code Crim. Proc.Ann. art. 44.01(a)(1) (West Supp.1995). In a single point of error, the State contends the trial court erred in granting Denton's motion to quash a misdemeanor perjury count due to lack of jurisdiction. We will reverse the district court's order.
