Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Harden Hankins, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

March 1, 19831983 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 962

Summary

The Court reversed the burglary conviction because the trial court failed to give the required circumstantial evidence charge when guilt was inferred from the evidence, and remanded for proper instruction. The Court also affirmed that the appellant's admission did not constitute direct evidence of the specific burglary and rejected the appellant's attack on prior convictions.
