Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Johnny M. Valdez v. the State of Texas, Appellee
November 10, 19811981 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1237
Summary
The Court affirmed the conviction for burglary of a vehicle, holding that the State's evidence—presence at the scene, flight, and the splitting of stolen property—was sufficient to support the jury's verdict. The dissent argued that the evidence did not prove the appellant entered the vehicle or aided the burglary and that the majority improperly relied on insufficient circumstantial evidence.
