Hudson v. State

OPINION

MORRISON, Judge.

The offense is the possession of narcotic drugs; the punishment, seventeen (17) years.

Appellant’s first ground of error is that the court erred at the punishment stage of the trial in permitting the state to introduce before the jury prior felony and misdemeanor convictions against appellant, where it was shown that appellant was not represented by counsel. Appellant went to great length in his effort to establish the absence of counsel in some of the prior con victions, but we have searched this record in vain and fail to find any mention of in-digency.
