Ronnie Paul Kappel v. State
Texas Court of Appeals, 14th District (Houston)
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
MARTHA HILL JAMISON, Justice.
Appellant Ronnie Paul Kappel appeals from his conviction for assault of a family/household member. A jury found appellant guilty, and the trial court determined that he was a habitual offender and sentenced him to life in prison. In two issues, appellant contends that the trial court erred in admitting certain letters appellant wrote while in jail pending trial and in preventing appellant from presenting evidence regarding Child Protective Services (CPS) investigations concerning the complainant’s children. We affirm. 1
