Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, holding that the search warrant was valid despite the judge's appointment term and the name discrepancy, that no special jury charge under Art. 38.23 was required, that the pills found at arrest were admissible as res gestae without a limiting instruction, and that the State proved the prior convictions were final and the evidence sufficient to support the conviction.
