Court of Appeals of Texas, Fort Worth.

Rehearing Overruled July 20, 2000.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Law Offices of Don Gladden, Don Gladden, Fort Worth, for Appellant.

Tim Curry, Crim. Dist. Atty., Charles M. Mallin, Chief of Appellate Section and Asst. Crim. Dist. Atty., Tanya S. Dohoney, D.D. Handy, Asst. Crim. Dist. Attys., Fort Worth, for Appellee.

PANEL B: DAY and HOLMAN, JJ.; JOHN HILL, J. (Retired, Sitting by Assignment).


OPINION

DIXON W. HOLMAN, Justice.

Appellant Joe Lee Clifton appeals his conviction for assault with bodily injury. In a single point, he complains that the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury on the issue of self-defense and by denying his motion for a new trial. Because the trial court did not err, we affirm the trial court's judgment.1
