Robinson v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
TOM G. DAVIS, Judge.
Appeal is taken from a conviction for burglary of a habitation under V.T.C.A. Penal Code, Sec. 30.02(a)(1). After the jury returned a verdict of guilty, punishment was assessed by the court at fifteen years and one day.
In a single ground of error, the appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction. The State relied on circumstantial evidence for conviction and the court instructed the jury regarding the burden of proof in such cases. In light of appellant’s contention, we review the evidence in detail.
