A plea is not rendered involuntary simply because a defendant received a greater punishment than he anticipated. See Tovar-Torres v. State, 860 S.W.2d 176, 178 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1993, no pet.); Rice v. State, 789 S.W.2d 604, 607 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1990, no pet.).
The State is required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused is the person who committed the crime charged. Roberson v. State, 16 S.W.3d 156, 167 (Tex. App.—Austin 2000, pet. ref'd) (citing Johnson v. State, 673 S.W.2d 190, 196 (Tex. Crim. App. 1984); Rice v. State, 901 S.W.2d 16, 17 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1990, pet. ref'd)). Identity may be proven by direct or circumstantial evidence.

But the mere fact appellant's punishment was higher than anticipated or hoped for does not render his guilty plea involuntary. See Tovar-Torres v. State, 860 S.W.2d 176, 178 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1993, no pet.) (per curiam); Rice v. State, 789 S.W.2d 604, 607 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1990, no pet.) (per curiam). We overrule the first issue.

The mere fact that appellant may have received a higher punishment than he anticipated or hoped does not render his guilty plea involuntary. See Tovar-Torres v. State, 860 S.W.2d 176, 178 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1993, no pet.) (per curiam); Rice v. State, 789 S.W.2d 604, 607 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1990, no pet.) (per curiam). We conclude appellant has not rebutted the prima facie showing of voluntariness, nor has he established that counsel misled him into entering a guilty plea.
