¶1 OPINION ON APPELLANT’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

PER CURIAM.

¶2 This case concerns the amount of remit-titur allowed a surety on the amount of bond after a forfeiture has been declared and the proper application of Article 22.-16(d) and (e), V.A.C.C.P. 1 Appellant, Undine Makeig d/b/a E-Z Bail Bonds, alleges in a single point of error that the 7th Court of Appeals has misconstrued Article 22.-16(d) and (e) in remitting less than half the bond amount.

¶3 I.

¶4 We have reviewed the court of appeals’ decision Makeig v. State, 802 S.W.2d 59 (Tex.App.—Amarillo 1990) and find the reasoning is sound. We therefore adopt the opinion as our own without further comment.
