Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Anthony Fitzgerald Turner, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

June 3, 19871987 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 600

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals set aside the trial court's cumulation order because no record evidence or testimony established a prior conviction or the appellant's identity, and because the trial court improperly took judicial notice of a conviction from another court. The Court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeals affirming the conviction, but vacated the invalid cumulation.
