Before MORRISS, C.J., CARTER and MOSELEY, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
A jury found Howard Weatherall, Jr., guilty of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm. Weatherall pled true to several previous felony convictions, his sentence was enhanced, and the trial court imposed forty years of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice — Institutional Division. On appeal of two cause numbers briefed together, Weatherall alleges the trial court erred in failing to submit the issue of self-defense to the jury, and claims his counsel was ineffective in failing to request a jury instruction on the defense of necessity. We addressed Weatherall's points of error in detail in our opinion of this date in cause number 06-09-00095-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
Weatherall appeals from two convictions, one for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and another for unlawful possession of a firearm, cause numbers 06-09-00095-CR and 06-09-00114-CR.
