SAMUEL DELEON GARZA, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 196th District Court
Hunt County, Texas
Trial Court No. 28,999
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Burgess
MEMORANDUM OPINION
A jury convicted Samuel Deleon Garza of assault arising out of his dating relationship with Maria Ulloa. Due to a previous conviction for assault involving family violence, Garza’s offense was enhanced from a misdemeanor to a third degree felony. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.01(b)(2)(A) (West Supp. 2014). Because Garza had previously committed two other felony offenses, the jury was instructed to assess punishment “for any term of not more than 99 years or less than 25 years.” TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 12.42(d) (West Supp. 2014). Garza pled “true” to the State’s enhancement allegations and was sentenced to eighty-five years’ imprisonment.
On appeal, 1 Garza argues only that the evidence was legally insufficient to prove that he and Ulloa had a dating relationship. We addressed this same issue in detail in our opinion of this date on Garza’s appeal in cause number 06-14-00088-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that legally sufficient evidence established a dating relationship between Garza and Ulloa. Accordingly, we overrule Garza’s sole point of error on appeal.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
