No. 14-11-00078-CR.

378 S.W.3d 652 (2012)

Codiem Renoir WOOTEN, Appellant, v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, Houston (14th Dist.).

August 30, 2012.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Danny K. Easterling , Houston, for Appellant.

Jessica Alane Caird , Houston, for the State.

Panel consists of Justices FROST, BROWN, and CHRISTOPHER.


OPINION

JEFFREY V. BROWN, Justice.

Appellant Codiem Renoir Wooten appeals his jury conviction for murder on two grounds: (1) the State's questions during cross examination amounted to an admission of irrelevant hearsay about prior bad acts and (2) the trial court erred during the punishment phase by refusing to instruct the jury on sudden passion. We affirm appellant's conviction and reverse and remand for a new punishment hearing.
