In re M.H.

Court of Appeals of Texas

Decided May 31, 2018No. 08-15-00043-CVPublished

1Opinion of the CourtYvonne T. Rodriguez, Justice

M.H., a juvenile, appeals his adjudication of delinquent conduct for attempted burglary of a habitation. In his sole issue on review, Appellant contends the trial court erred in admitting the testimony of an accomplice witness because that testimony was not sufficiently corroborated as required by Section 54.03(e) of the Texas Family Code. Specifically, he contends the only corroborating evidence was (1) a non-specific description given by an eye-witness, and (2) Appellant's having been found in the presence of the accomplice witness. We affirm.
