Description
Opinion ON APPELLANT'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW Appellant was tried by a jury for the offense of burglary of a habitation in Harris County. See V.T.C.A., Penal Code Sec. 30.02(a)(3). The jury, after returning a verdict of guilty, assessed punishment at 50 years in the Texas Department of Corrections. Appellant's co-defendant, Gary Wayne Fisher, jointly tried with appellant, was sentenced to 45 years in the Texas Department of Corrections. On direct appeal, appellant alleged five grounds of error. The Court of Appeals affirmed. Gamble v. State, 681 S.W.2d 769 (Tex.App.--Houston [14th] 1984). Fisher's conviction was also affirmed on direct appeal. Fisher v. State, 681 S.W.2d 202 (Tex.App.--Houston [14th] 1984) (pet.ref'd). We granted review to determine whether the Court of Appeals erred in holding that appellant failed to demonstrate the harmful effect of the error in admitting State's exhibits six and seven. The exhibits admitted are copies of judgments of prior misdemeanor convictions, introduced during the punishment phase of appellant's trial. See Art. 37.07(3)(a), V.A.C.C.P.
