Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Andrew Wilson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
June 20, 19841984 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 679
Summary
The Court considered whether the State satisfied its burden of proof for the enhancement allegation in a misdemeanor assault conviction. It held that a charge reciting a plea of “true” is not evidence and that the State must present a record of such a plea. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the lower appellate court’s reversal and remanded.
