  1. Sandoval v. State

    422 S.W.2d 458 (Tex. Crim. App. 1968)   Cited 9 times
    In Sandoval, the defendant's statement at the accident scene was corroborated by evidence that the car was registered in his name and that no one else was with him.

    It was abundantly established that it was not a green light, but rather a blinking red light, that appellant was intoxicated and was at the scene, and that the automobile which caused the injury was registered in appellant's name and that no one else was with him in his automobile. These facts authorize an affirmance of this cause under the authority of the holding of this Court in Thomas v. State, 162 Tex.Crim. 268, 283 S.W.2d 933, and Hughes v. State, 161 Tex.Crim. 300, 276 S.W.2d 813. Appellant's second ground of error seems to be that he was never taken before a magistrate.

  2. Hollingsworth v. State

    419 S.W.2d 854 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967)   Cited 19 times

    In many of these cases we have found, under the facts presented, the evidence sufficient to support the conviction. See Rios v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 398 S.W.2d 281; Hughes v. State, 161 Tex.Crim. 300, 276 S.W.2d 813; Harrison v. State, 171 Tex.Crim. R., 350 S.W.2d 204; Sandford v. State 169 Tex.Crim.

  3. Reed v. State

    373 S.W.2d 687 (Tex. Crim. App. 1964)   Cited 3 times

    The conviction is under Art. 339, Vernon's Ann.P.C., for unlawfully resisting arrest; the punishment, a fine of $250. The statement of facts appearing in the record is not shown to have been filed with the clerk of the trial court as required by Art. 759a, Sec. 4, Vernon's Ann.C.C.P., and therefore cannot be considered as a part of the record on appeal. Hughes v. State, 161 Tex.Crim. R., 276 S.W.2d 813; Salyer v. State, 166 Tex.Crim. R., 316 S.W.2d 420. The complaint and information charged, in substance, that the appellant did unlawfully resist his arrest, which was being made for a criminal offense for which an arrest could be made without warrant; that such arrest was attempted by a duly qualified deputy sheriff who was legally authorized to arrest appellant and was attempting to arrest him in a lawful manner.

  4. Salyer v. State

    316 S.W.2d 420 (Tex. Crim. App. 1958)   Cited 8 times

    In the absence of a statement of facts which can be considered[166 Tex.Crim. 534] this court cannot pass upon appellant's contention that the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction; and likewise cannot appraise the exception to the court's charge or the action of the court in refusing the requested charges. Hughes v. State, 161 Tex.Cr.R. 300, 276 S.W.2d 813; Donley v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 310 S.W.2d 567. Finding no reversible error the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

  5. Ex parte Harrison

    164 Tex. Crim. 145 (Tex. Crim. App. 1957)

    After a hearing, appellant was remanded to the custody of the sheriff of Dallas County to be delivered to the agent of the State of Ohio, the demanding state, and from said order he appeals. The statement of facts appearing in the record cannot be considered because it was not filed in the trial court within the time required by Art. 759a, Sec. 4, Vernon's Ann.C.C.P. Hughes v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 276 S.W.2d 813. No formal bills of exception appear in the record.

    164 Tex. Crim. 167 (Tex. Crim. App. 1956)   Cited 21 times
    Holding that since the trial was before the court without a jury, the questions did not result in harm to the appellant

    We find the evidence sufficient to support the conviction and overrule appellant's contention that it fails to show that he was operating the automobile prior to the collision or at any time on the occasion in question. See Hughes v. State, 161 Tex.Cr.R. 300, 276 S.W.2d 813, and Thomas v. State, Tex.Cr.R., 283 S.W.2d 933, where, under similar facts, the evidence was held to be sufficient to show that the accused was the driver of the motor vehicle. Appellant complains of the action of the court in questioning the state's witness Mrs. Becnel after her direct and cross-[164 TEXCRIM 169] examination by counsel.

  7. Hankins v. State

    294 S.W.2d 850 (Tex. Crim. App. 1956)   Cited 10 times

    In the absence of a statement of facts which can be considered, we are not in position to pass upon questions pertaining to the court's charge, admissibility of evidence, and the sufficiency of the evidence. Stephens v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 274 S.W.2d 829; Hughes v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 276 S.W.2d 813; Brown v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 282 S.W.2d 224. The indictment, as well as all other matters of procedure, appears regular; therefore, nothing is presented for review

  8. Thomas v. State

    162 Tex. Crim. 268 (Tex. Crim. App. 1955)   Cited 11 times

    We deem the evidence sufficient to show that appellant was the driver of the automobile in that the testimony shows that he was in the car slumped over the steering wheel after the collision and that no other person was in the automobile with him either immediately before or after the collision. This conclusion is supported by the reasoning in the recent case of Hughes v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 276 S.W.2d 813. The case of Spinks v. State, 156 Tex.Crim. R., 243 S.W.2d 173, relied upon by appellant, is not controlling here because in that case there was testimony that another person was seen in the automobile with the accused before the wreck and that such other person was on the driver's side of the car.

  9. Thomas v. State

    756 S.W.2d 59 (Tex. App. 1988)   Cited 15 times
    Finding there was sufficient evidence for a rational trier of fact to have determined that the appellant was the driver of the vehicle based on testimony that the appellant was found alone in the driver's seat of a vehicle that was still "smoking"

    Rather, this is a case in which the officer found no one else associated with the van except Thomas, and the first person on the scene found Thomas to be the only person in the vehicle. Perez v. State, 432 S.W.2d 954 (Tex.Crim.App. 1968); Sandoval v. State, 422 S.W.2d 458 (Tex.Crim.App. 1967); Thomas v. State, 162 Tex.Crim. 268, 283 S.W.2d 933 (1955); Hughes v. State, 161 Tex.Crim. 300, 276 S.W.2d 813 (1955). The testimony that the van was still smoking is significant evidence to show recent operation of the van.

  10. Reddie v. State

    736 S.W.2d 923 (Tex. App. 1987)   Cited 44 times
    Reversing DWI conviction of person found asleep at the wheel in the middle of the road because there was “no evidence as to when appellant became intoxicated or that he was intoxicated at the time he performed an act to affect the functioning of the vehicle”

    The court found that the evidence was sufficient to show the defendant was driving the vehicle. The facts in Keenan may be compared to Thomas v. State, 283 S.W.2d 933 (Tex.Crim.App. 1955) and Hughes v. State, 276 S.W.2d 813 (Tex.Crim.App. 1955). The facts in the present case must be distinguished.
