2000The reasoning behind this rule was also given by the court: The reason that a conviction which occurred before the statute was enacted may be used for enhancement is that the statute providing for a greater penalty upon a subsequent conviction does not seek to punish the offender for the original criminal act a second time, but rather, “The repetition of criminal conduct aggravates ... guilt and justifies heavier penalties.... ” Vasquez, 477 S.W.2d at 632 (citing Graham, v.

1999Appellant bolsters this argument with reliance on our holding in Ex parte McAtee, supra. In McAtee , this Court reaffirmed the Walker court’s holding that a total failure of the trial court to admonish the defendant concerning the range of punishment is reversible error without regard to harm. 2 We reasoned harm was not a consideration because when a trial judge fails to give the article 26.13(a)(1) admonishment there is no substantial compliance. 3 We stated: The reasoning behind this rule is that where the record indicates that the defendant has received an admonishment with respect to punis
