Description
Appellant Michael Rennie McDougal was charged by indictment with theft under $1,500, enhanced by two prior theft convictions as well as two other prior felony convictions. Appellant signed a judicial confession and waived a reporters record. Upon his open plea of guilty to theft and true to the enhancement paragraphs, the trial court found the enhancement allegations true and convicted Appellant of state jail felony theft,(1) enhancing his punishment to that given for a second-degree felony.(2) The court sentenced Appellant to seven years confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. On appeal, Appellant brings a single point challenging not the sufficiency of the evidence but the States failure to introduce evidence into the record to support the guilty plea, in violation of article 1.15 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.(3) We affirm the trial courts judgment.
