Castenada v. State

Opinion of the Court

White, P. J.

Appellant was indicted for the crime of burglary with intent to steal. The judgment will be reversed for failure of the court to charge the jury upon the law of theft. When burglary is charged to have been committed with intent to commit theft, or to steal, the law of theft as well as that of burglary should be given in charge to the jury. Simms v. State, 2 Texas Ct. App. 110.

Reversed and remanded,
