Description

Appellant was charged with burglary of a habitation, and was tried and found guilty by a jury in the 221st Judicial District Court of Montgomery County. During the punishment phase of the trial, the jury found that appellant had four prior felony convictions, and in accordance with V.T.C.A. Penal Code, ? 12.42(d), appellant was given a life sentence. In appellants first petition for discretionary review, this Court, in an unpublished opinion, remanded the case to the Ninth Court of Appeals because of an erroneous finding by that court that the indictments for appellants alleged prior offenses had been offered into evidence. Tomlin v. State, No. 1080-84, delivered, June 5, 1985. On remand the Court of Appeals found sufficient evidence to uphold the jurys finding that appellant had been convicted of the alleged prior offenses, notwithstanding the fact that the indictments had not been offered into evidence.
