Ortega v. State

OPINION

WANDA McKEE FOWLER, Justice.

The jury found appellant guilty of the misdemeanor offense of assaulting a family member. The trial court assessed punishment at confinement for one year in the Harris County Jail and a $2,000 fine. In three issues, appellant contends that (1) the trial court erred in admitting hearsay testimony without requiring the State to give an exception to the hearsay rule, (2) the evidence was legally insufficient to support his conviction, and (3) during the punishment phase, the trial court improperly admitted evidence of threats made by appellant. We affirm.
