Samuel Quintanilla v. State

OPINION

Rebeca Huddle, Justice

A jury convicted appellant Samuel Quin-tanilla of attempted burglary of a habitation, a third degree felony. See Tex. Penal Code §§ 15.01(a), (d); 30.02(a), (c)(2). Quintanilla pleaded true to one felony enhancement, and the jury sentenced him to 12 years’ imprisonment. In one issue on appeal, Quintanilla contends that the trial court erred and violated the Double Jeopardy Clause of the United States Constitution by entering judgment on the jury’s guilty verdict after first orally granting, and then denying, his motion for directed verdict. We affirm.
