James Russell Gant, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed James Russell Gant's felony theft conviction. It held that the trial court did not err in omitting a circumstantial evidence instruction, that prior theft convictions were admissible, that the verdict form was not a fundamental error, that prior theft convictions are jurisdictional elements that must be charged in the main charge, and that the instruction on the law of parties did not impermissibly comment on the weight of the evidence.
