Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Decided February 8, 1950

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · decided 1950-02-08

Decided 1950-02-08

DAVIDSON, Judge.

¶1This is a case of robbery by assault; the punishment, five years in the penitentiary.

¶2The sole question presented for review is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the conviction.

¶3*809Carreon, the injured party, testified that about two o’clock in the morning, as he was walking down a street in the city of El Paso, he was jointly attacked and assaulted by two men and there was taken from off his person a billfold containing some Mexican currency.

¶4We note that Carreon testified: “Yes, sir, this defendant is one of the men that jumped on me and took my billfold.”

¶5We are unable to conclude, especially in view of the statement just quoted, that the facts are insufficient to support the verdict.

¶6The judgment is affirmed.

HAWKINS, P. J., absent.

¶7Opinion approved by the Court
