OPINION
Opinion by SARAH B. DUNCAN, Justice.
Thomas Edwin Walker appeals the trial court's judgment convicting him of resisting arrest and sentencing him to 180 days in jail and a $2000 fine, both probated for two years. We hold Walker was prejudiced by the deficient performance of his trial counsel, Robert E. Houssiere, and therefore reverse the trial court's judgment and remand the cause for a new trial.
