Laxson v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Laxson v. State, 122 S.W.2d 639 (Tex. Crim. App. 1938)
135 Tex. Crim. 672; 1938 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 860
Graves

Laxson v. State

Opinion of the Court

Graves, Judge.

Appellant pleaded guilty before the district judge to the offense of robbery, the indictment alleging that he had been previously convicted of three similar offenses less than a capital felony, and the court found him guilty upon such plea and proof thereof, and assessed his punishment at a lifetime at hard labor in the penitentiary.

The proceedings appear to be regular and the proof satisfactory, showing appellant to be guilty not only of the commission of the instant felony, but also that he had been previously convicted of two other felonies, and we can see no reason for disturbing the trial court’s judgment. It is therefore affirmed.
