Ruben MENCHACA, Appellant, v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, San Antonio.

September 30, 1985.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David Duran, Carrizo Springs, for appellant.

Amado Abascal, III, Dist. Atty., Eagle Pass, for appellee.

Before CADENA, C.J., and BUTTS and REEVES, JJ.

OPINION

Appellant challenges the conviction on grounds that the trial court improperly limited his claim of defense by including in the charge, over objection, instructions on provoking the difficulty and by failing to include in such instructions all the elements of the rule concerning provoking the difficulty.
