SMITH v. STATE

Nos. 57041-57043.

575 S.W.2d 41 (1979)

James Ray SMITH, Appellant, v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas, Panel No. 3.

January 3, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Wes Reed, Dallas, for appellant.

Henry M. Wade, Dist. Atty., John Tatum, James D. Burnham, and Reed W. Prospere, Asst. Dist. Attys., Dallas, for the State.

Before DOUGLAS and TOM G. DAVIS, JJ.

OPINION

DOUGLAS, Judge.

James Ray Smith appeals from convictions for two aggravated robberies and an attempted capital murder. Punishment was assessed by the jury at life in each case. The court ordered that the sentences run cumulatively.

Smith argues that the trial court was without authority to cumulate his sentences because all three convictions arose out of the same criminal episode. The sufficiency of the evidence is not challenged.
