““The distinction between circumstantial and direct evidence is that the latter applies directly to the ultimate fact to be proven, while circumstantial evidence is the direct proof of a minor fact which by logical inference demonstrates the fact to be proven.” McBride v. State, 486 S.W.2d 318, 319 (Tex.Cr.App.1972). Accord, Eiland v. State, 509 S.W.2d 596, 597 (Tex.Cr.App.1974); Crawford v. State, 502 S.W.2d 768, 769 (Tex.Cr.App.1973); Selman v.
