Description
Appellant was convicted of capital murder, specifically murder of a peace officer. TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 19.03(a)(1). This
cause originated in Austin County and was transferred to Matagorda County on change of venue.1 At the punishment phase
of trial, the jury answered the three issues submitted to it in the affirmative and the trial court assessed the death penalty.
TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 37.071(b)(1),(2),(3). Appeal to this Court is automatic. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 37.071(h). Appellant raises fifty-five points of error.2 Because appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support
the jury's affirmative answers to the first two issues submitted to it at punishment, a review of the facts is necessary.
