Michael Gregory Robles, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' reversal, holding that when a defendant stipulates to the existence of prior DWI convictions that are elements of a felony DWI, the probative value of introducing the judgments is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice under Rule 403, so the evidence must be excluded in the guilt‑innocence phase. The Court also held that admission of those convictions is error even when the State does not allege additional prior convictions.
