741 S.W.2d 451 | Tex. Crim. App. | 1987
OPINION ON APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING AFTER PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW REFUSED
Appeal is taken from a conviction for the offense of aggravated assault. After finding appellant guilty, the jury assessed punishment at twenty (20) years and a 10,000 fine. The Court of Appeals affirmed Appellant’s conviction. Palmer v. State, 716 S.W.2d 174 (Tex.App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1986). This Court refused appellant’s petition for discretionary review on October 14, 1987.
In his first ground for rehearing, relating to the alleged erroneous reputation questions, appellant argues that refusal of his petition constitutes “aceept[ance of] the reasoning and analysis of the court of appeals.” Appellant is mistaken. As in every case, this Court’s decision to refuse a petition for discretionary review should not be construed as approval by this Court of the language or reasoning used by the court of appeals in reaching a decision.
With this understanding, appellant’s motion for rehearing is denied.
