SAKIL v. STATE

No. 08-05-00342-CR.

281 S.W.3d 87 (2008)

Eric SAKIL, Appellant, v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, El Paso.

Discretionary Review Granted November 19, 2008.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Fernando Chacon, El Paso, for Appellant.

Jaime E. Esparza, Dist. Atty., El Paso, for State.

Before CHEW, C.J., CARR, J., and BARAJAS, C.J. (Ret.).

OPINION

DAVID WELLINGTON CHEW, Chief Justice.

Eric Sakil appeals from his conviction for the offense of assault, enhanced against a member of his family or household. In two issues, Appellant argues the trial court erred by (1) including a definition of voluntary intoxication in its charge to the jury, and (2) by refusing to allow the jury to consider the effect of mental illness in determining whether he possessed the requisite state of mind.
