Alfred Taylor v. Dr. George J. Beto, Director, Texas Department of Corrections
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided May 24, 1965No. 21735_1PublishedCited by 5 opinions
1Per curiam
As is true in Reyes v. Beto, 5 Cir., 1965, 345 F.2d 722, decided by us this date, this appeal challenges the constitutional fairness of the Texas procedure oj allowing the indictment allegations oi prior felony convictions to be read to the jury in a Habitual Offender prosecution. The District Court’s decision must likewise be affirmed on the basis of Breen v. Beto, 5 Cir., 1965, 341 F.2d 96. See also Reed v. Beto, 5 Cir., 1965, 343 F.2d 723 [April 7, 1965]; see Stephens v. State, 1964, Tex.Cr.App., 377 S.W.2d 189, cert. denied, 1965, 85 S.Ct. 1344 [April 26, 1965].
Affirmed.
