Cheak v. State
Court of Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
REYNOLDS, Chief Justice.
A jury convicted appellant Robert Cheak, a/k/a Robert Burke, of the offense of burglary of a vehicle, and assessed his punishment, enhanced by two prior felony convictions, at confinement for 45 years. Appellant seeks a reversal on two points of error, viz: (1) the trial court erred in denying his request for a jury instruction on the lesser included offense of criminal trespass; and (2) the conviction is void because court appointed trial counsel did not render effective assistance. The points will be overruled and the judgment will be affirmed.
