Jerry Glenn Patterson v. State Texas

Jerry Glenn Patterson was convicted of illegally possessing less than 28 grams of methamphetamine. Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. art. 4476-15, ?? 4.02(b)(6), 4.04(b) (Supp. 1986). Punishment, enhanced by two previous felony convictions, was assessed at 25 years imprisonment. Trial was before a jury on Pattersons plea of not guilty. Patterson appeals on eleven points of error in which he challenges: (1) the sufficiency of the evidence to support the judgment of conviction; (2) certain alleged procedural errors by the trial court; and (3) the sufficiency of the evidence to support the sentence imposed. We affirm the judgment of the trial court, in part and reverse that part of the judgment which assesses punishment, remanding the cause to the trial court for reassessment of punishment.
