Description
In his several habeas corpus applications, appellant and his counsel contend he is now confined in the Department of Corrections as a result of a 1972 Cooke County conviction for assault with intent to murder (Trial Court No. 71-049) in which punishment was assessed at twenty-five (25) years imprisonment. His conviction was affirmed on appeal. See Reed v. State, 503 S.W.2d 775 (Tex.Cr.App.1974). Appellant now contends that at his 1972 trial three prior Cooke County convictions for assault to murder (Cause No. 15,459), aiding another charged with a felony to escape (Cause No. 15,474), and burglary (Cause No. 15,956) were introduced as part of his prior criminal record (see Article 37.07, V.A.C.C.P.) and that these were void convictions and contributed to the punishment assessed him.
