This is an appeal by a minor from an order waiving juvenile jurisdiction by the Family District Court for the 313th Judicial District and certifying him for criminal proceedings by transferring him to the 263rd District Court giving preference to criminal cases pursuant to a hearing under Tex.Fam. Code Ann. § 54.02 (Vernon 1975). Finding no error by the trial court, we affirm such order.
The attorney appointed for the indigent appellant by the court below and continuing to represent him on appeal raises three points of error for consideration on appeal. First, it is complained that the trial court erred in admitting as petitioner’s exhibit No. 1, over objection as to the inadequacy of “Miranda warnings” related thereto, the investigation report ordered by the court prior to the hearing. It was admitted in the objection that the trial judge in open court in the presence of said attorney gave
The second point of error is that the trial court committed reversible error by overruling the Appellant’s Motion to Quash Petitioner’s Petition. This apparently refers to the Motion to Waive Jurisdiction which was filed by the State in connection with detention proceedings of the minor. The defectiveness asserted in Appellant’s alleged motion was its failure to allege that the victim had title, possession or greater right of possession than respondent. The State’s motion alleged, in effect, that in the course of committing theft of property owned by the named complainant the Appellant intentionally threatened him with imminent bodily injury and death by a firearm. Treating the “motion to quash” as a statement of special exceptions in the civil proceeding, there is no authority cited to show the inadequacy of the allegations to give the defendant fair notice of the facts asserted as material to the pleadings leading to the ultimate order waiving juvenile jurisdiction and transferring the defendant to the criminal district court for further proceedings. Appellant cites only a capital murder case in which a conviction was reversed for failure to name the kidnap victim involved. It was held that a motion to quash should have been sustained as to that indictment.
See Brasfield v. State,
Appellant’s third point contends that “the verdict is contrary to the law and the evidence,” as if Tex.Code Crim.Pro.Ann. Art. 40.03(9) (Vernon 1979) were applicable to this appeal on the basis of a motion for a new trial as to a criminal felony conviction. There was no motion for new trial and this is not such an appeal, but is a civil proceeding wherein there was no “verdict,” but a nonjury trial as to which Rule 418, Tex.R.Civ.Proc., requires separate points of error on appeal. Under (d) of that Rule, complaints that the evidence is legally or factually insufficient must be raised by sufficiently directing the court’s attention to the nature of the complaint made regarding each issue or finding or legal conclusion based thereon. Appellant apparently contends that since the complaining witness did not have his glasses (used only for reading) on there was some invalidity to the identification of the appellant as the robber. However, after a complete and direct description and a positive identification of Appellant, the complaining witness described the activities surrounding the robbery with a pistol and how he caught the Appellant nearly one-half hour after he had been robbed and found him with his watch, and also with bullets in his pocket and a pistol. The police arrested Appellant on the spot. The evidence was clearly sufficient and the Appellant’s third point is overruled. Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is in all things affirmed.
