See Rawlings v. State, 602 S.W.2d 268 (Tex.Cr.App.1980); Heredia v. State, 468 S.W.2d 833 (Tex.Cr.App. 1971); Tomlin v. State, 170 Tex.Crim. 108 , 338 S.W.2d 735 (1960); Edwards v. State, 166 Tex.Crim. 301 , 313 S.W.2d 618 (1958). Applying that principle to this cause would preclude use of prior felony DWI convictions, but not other felony convictions, to enhance under Chapter 12.”
