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.
