Henry v. Texas (original by judge meyers)
Annotate this CaseA jury convicted Appellant Alvin Henry Jr. of evading arrest with a motor vehicle. At the punishment stage of trial, the jury found that Henry was previously convicted of two felony offenses, resulting in an enhanced sentence of sixty years’ imprisonment. Henry appealed, arguing that the State, during punishment, “failed to prove that he was the same person who had committed the extraneous offenses introduced during punishment, including the two prior felony offenses used to increase his range of punishment.” The court of appeals affirmed the trial court. And finding no reversible error, the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the court of appeals.
