Hunter v. State
Hunter v. State
Opinion of the Court
OPINION ON APPELLANT’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
Appellant was convicted of the offense of possession of a controlled substance in an amount less than twenty-eight grams and the jury, after finding an enhancement
During the punishment phase of trial, the State offered testimony of a police officer concerning a previous arrest of appellant for possession of a controlled substance. This arrest did not result in a final conviction. Nevertheless, the Court of Appeals held that this evidence was admissible under the 1989 amendment to Article 37.07, § (3)(a), supra.
The Court of Appeals’ opinion was handed down before our decision in Grunsfeld v. State, 843 S.W.2d 521 (Tex.Cr.App. No. 1037-91, delivered October 28, 1992, rehearing denied December 9, 1992). We therefore vacate the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the cause to that court for reconsideration in light of our decision in Grunsfeld.
