If evidence exists that the victim was known by the name alleged in the indictment, then the issue is raised and is properly left for the jury to determine. Brown v. State, 843 S.W.2d 709, 712 (Tex.App.—Dallas 1992, no pet.) (citing Blankenship); Stahley v. State, 814 S.W.2d 415, 417 (Tex.App.—Dallas 1991,…
