Description

A jury convicted appellant, Juan Jose Deleon, of aggravated assault, enhanced by two prior convictions for murder and one prior conviction for burglary of a building, with all three prior convictions having occurred at the same time. The trial court assessed punishment at 40 years in prison. We determine whether error in the admission of appellants two prior convictions for murder, convictions which were admitted to impeach appellant under Texas Rule of Evidence 609(a) (attacking credibility of a witness), was harmless in light of appellants failure to object to the admissibility of the prior convictions under Texas Rule of Evidence 404(b) (extraneous offenses), the States alternative basis for admissibility. See Tex. R. Evid. 404(b), 609(a). We affirm.
