Danny Marx Dingler v. State Texas

We granted the State Prosecuting Attorney and District Attorney petitions to review whether the Court of Appeals misconstrued Todd v. State, 598 S.W.2d 286 (Tex.Cr.App. 1980), in holding that the pen packets had not been properly certified and authenticated under the provisions of Art. 3731a, § 4, V.A.C.S., by the custodian of the records of the Department of Corrections since the copies of the judgments in the pen packets did not reflect whether the certification by the District Clerk appears on the originals. See Dingler v. State, 723 S.W.2d 806 (Tex. App. - Tyler, 1987).
