                   WADE JAMES JEFFERSON, Appellant

                                       V.
                      THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                   On Appeal from the 228th District Court
                           Harris County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. 1328031

                MEMORANDUM OPINION ON REMAND


      Appellant Wade James Jefferson appeals his conviction for murder. On
original submission, appellant argued that there was insufficient evidence in the
record to support the court’s costs of $234 reflected in the judgment. We agreed
and modified the trial court’s judgment to delete the specific amount of costs
assessed. Jefferson v. State, No. 14-12-00854-CR; 2013 WL 5969707 (Tex.
App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Nov. 7, 2013) vacated and remanded, No. PD-1631-
13; 2014 WL 1512963 (Tex. Crim. App. Apr. 16, 2014). The Court of Criminal
Appeals vacated our judgment and remanded in light of its opinion in Johnson v.
State, 423 S.W.3d 385 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).

      We review the assessment of court costs on appeal to determine if there is a
basis for the costs, not to determine whether there was sufficient evidence offered
at trial to prove each cost. Id. at 390. Traditional sufficiency-of-the-evidence
standards of review do not apply. Id.

      Generally, a bill of costs must (1) contain the items of cost, (2) be signed by
the officer who charged the cost or the officer who is entitled to receive payment
for the cost, and (3) be certified. Id. at 392–93; see Tex. Crim. Proc. Code Ann.
arts. 103.001, 103.006. The record in this case contains a computer-screen printout
of the Harris County Justice Information Management System (JIMS) “Cost Bill
Assessment.” In Johnson, the Court of Criminal Appeals held that a JIMS report
constitutes an appropriate bill of costs because the report itemized the accrued
court costs, was certified by the district clerk, and was signed by a deputy clerk.
Johnson, 423 S.W.3d at 393. The JIMS report in this record is a compliant bill of
costs because it contains an itemized list of costs, is certified by the district clerk,
and is signed by a deputy district clerk. See id. at 392–93; see also Perez v. State,
No. 14-12-00893-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] April 22, 2014, no pet. h.)
(mem. op., not designated for publication). The fact that the bill of costs was not
prepared until after the court signed the judgment does not defeat the lawfulness of
the bill of costs. Id. at 394. (“[M]atters pertaining to the imposition of court costs
need not be brought to the attention of the trial court, including a bill of costs
prepared after a criminal trial.”).

      The trial court assessed $234 in costs against appellant. The sum of the
itemized costs in the JIMS report is $234. There being no challenge to any specific

                                           2
cost or the basis for the assessment of such cost, the bill of costs supports $234 of
the costs assessed in the judgment. Id. at 396.

      On remand, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
