Description
Appellant pled not guilty to intoxication manslaughter and felony driving while intoxicated ("DWI"). A jury found appellant guilty of intoxication manslaughter and made a finding that appellant's motor vehicle was a deadly weapon. The jury sentenced appellant to 18 years' confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and assessed a $10,000.00 fine. In two points of error, appellant appeals his conviction, and contends that the trial court erred (1) by permitting the reading of an indictment to the jury that contained prior convictions for driving while intoxicated in an intoxication manslaughter case, and (2) by permitting a third driving under the influence ("DUI") conviction to be proved during the punishment phase of trial with a document that was not properly authenticated and which contained hearsay. We affirm.
