““ ‘It is the general rule that where the criminal intent originates in the mind of the accused, the fact that the officers furnish the opportunity for or aid the accused in the commission of a crime constitutes no defense to such a prosecution. However, if the criminal design originates in the mind of the officer and he induces a person to commit a crime which he would not otherwise have committed except for such inducement, such is entrapment and, in law, may constitute a defense.’ Haywood v. State [Tex.Cr.App.], 482 S.W.2d 855 . See also McKelva v. State [Tex.Cr.App.], 453 S.W.2d 298 ; Sutton v. State, 170 Tex.Cr.R. 617 , 343 S.W.2d 452 .””
