The statement of facts reflects that the trial court found the enhancement allegations to be true, and assessed punishment at confinement for life. The docket sheet also reflects that the court assessed punishment at life. Where this Court has the necessary data and evidence before it for reformation, the judgment may be reformed on appeal. Vasquez v. State, 477 S.W.2d 629 (Tex.Cr.App., delivered February 16, 1972); Golden v. State, 434 S.W.2d 870 (Tex.Cr.App. 1968); Brim v. State, 379 S.W.2d 664 (Tex.Cr.App. 1964); Ex parte Brown, 145 Tex.Crim. 39, 165 S.W.2d 718 (1942); Kuhn v. State, 142 Tex.Crim. R., 151 S.W.2d 208 (1941); Evans v. State, 141 Tex.Crim. R., 147 S.W.2d 794 (1941); see also, Lowe v. State, 427 S.W.2d 867 (Tex.Cr.App. 1968). Likewise, this Court may reform a sentence so as to conform with the judgment.
Appellant's Collateral Attack of the Prior Convictions Appellant's burden in the trial court was to demonstrate that the prior convictions were void. Acosta v. State, 650 S.W.2d 827, 829 (Tex.Cr.App. 1983); Ex parte Brown, 165 S.W.2d 718, 720 (Tex.Cr.App. 1942); Egger v. State, 62 S.W.3d 221, 224 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2001, no pet'n); Battle v. State, 989 S.W.2d 840, 841 (Tex.App.-Texarkana 1999, no pet'n). To meet this burden, appellant had to show that a jurisdictional defect or denial of a fundamental or constitutional right occurred in the prior misdemeanor causes.
A verdict should receive a liberal construction, and it is sufficient if the jury's intention can be ascertained from the verdict itself, or in connection with the court's charge. Ex Parte Brown, 145 Tex.Crim. 39, 165 S.W.2d 718, 720 (1942); Smart v. State, 144 Tex.Crim. 93, 161 S.W.2d 97, 99 (1942). It is true that the jury verdict read literally only finds that the appellant had been previously convicted of two felonies.
