Lindsey v. State

Appellant Aaron Shawn Lindsey challenges his conviction, alleging that the trial court abused its discretion by not sua sponte conducting an informal inquiry into appellant's competency to stand trial. We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by failing to conduct an informal inquiry into appellant's competency because the record does not contain evidence suggesting that appellant was incompetent to stand trial. We affirm.

I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

Appellant lived with the complainant in the complainant's apartment. The two men had lived together for about a year.
