“Similar fact evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is admissible when relevant to prove a material fact in issue, such as proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident, but it is inadmissible when the evidence is relevant solely to prove bad character or propensity.”

2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Freeman v. State · Davis v. State“There must be identifiable points of similarity which pervade the compared factual situations.
