Delivered October 4, 2006.

OPINION
KEASLER, Judge.
We reversed this case and remanded it to the Court of Appeals for it to conduct a harm analysis.[1] In response, in a two-page opinion, the Court held that the error was non-constitutional and harmful.[2] Since the error was a Fourth Amendment violation (constitutional error), and since the harm analysis is inadequate, we remand the case to the Court for further analysis.
Since the error was constitutional, the Court of Appeals should have used the harm standard set forth in Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 44.2(a). It is a stricter standard than that employed by the Court. And if this were the only error the Court made in its analysis, the result would remain the same, and there would be no need to remand. If the error was harmful under the less rigid 44.2(b) standard, then it would also be harmful under 44.2(a).
But there is a more troublesome issue. In its brief analysis, the Court stated that "[c]onsideration of the inadmissible evidence was necessary for conviction on some of the counts and helpful to convict on the remaining counts. Therefore, the error in admitting the evidence seized from the red caboose had a substantial and injurious effect or influence in determining the jury's verdict."[3]
In conducting a harm analysis, the court of appeals must hand down an opinion that although brief, "addresses every issue raised and necessary to final disposition of the appeal."[4] It may not conclude that constitutional error is harmless unless it "determines beyond a reasonable doubt that the error did not contribute to the conviction or punishment."[5]
Here, the Court of Appeals made no mention of the remaining, legally obtained evidence or whether that evidence was sufficient to sustain the conviction absent the illegally obtained evidence.[6] It did not consider the evidence as it related to each individual count and whether or not the illegally obtained evidence was cumulative or no more incriminating than that which was legally obtained.
The judgment of the Court of Appeals is therefore reversed, and the case is remanded for the Court to conduct an analysis consistent with the dictates of this opinion.
