OPINION
LAGARDE, Justice.
Alester Demetrias Dorsey appeals his conviction of burglary of a vehicle. After finding appellant guilty, the jury assessed his punishment, enhanced by two prior felony convictions, at life imprisonment. In three points of error, Dorsey contends that 1) the trial court erred in overruling his Batson 1 objection, 2) the trial court improperly admitted into evidence, over objection, his unrecorded custodial statement, and 3) the evidence was insufficient to show that he was guilty of the offense charged. We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
