John Michael Watson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction for aggravated robbery, finding the evidence sufficient, the enhancement paragraph proper, and the trial court’s refusal to charge the lesser included offense of aggravated assault acceptable; it also held that the admission of reputation testimony without a proper predicate was harmless error. Justice Clinton dissented on the lesser‑included‑offense rule and Judge Dally concurred in part and dissented in part on that same issue.
