Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Danny Marshall Morgan, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

July 10, 19851985 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1447

Summary

The Court held that extraneous acts of misconduct are admissible to prove specific intent when the intent element cannot be inferred from the charged act itself, and that, on that basis, the evidence was sufficient to support appellant's conviction for indecency with a child. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals' acquittal and affirmed the trial court's judgment.
