Joe Allen Disheroon, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the aggravated robbery conviction, holding that the prior felony conviction based on earlier misdemeanor convictions was admissible because the appellant failed to meet the burden of proving indigency, lack of counsel, and no waiver, and that the collateral estoppel argument failed because no objection was raised. Justice TEAGUE, concurring, argued that Garza v. State should be overruled and that collateral estoppel should bar relitigation of the prior conviction.
