Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit·Decided May 24, 1965·No. 21735_1·Published·Cited by 5 cases

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

As is true in Reyes v. Beto, 5 Cir., 1965, 345 F.2d 722, decided by us this date, this appeal challenges the constitutional fairness of the Texas procedure oj allowing the indictment allegations oi prior felony convictions to be read to the jury in a Habitual Offender prosecution. The District Court’s decision must likewise be affirmed on the basis of Breen v. Beto, 5 Cir., 1965, 341 F.2d 96. See also Reed v. Beto, 5 Cir., 1965, 343 F.2d 723 [April 7, 1965]; see Stephens v. State, 1964, Tex.Cr.App., 377 S.W.2d 189, cert. denied, 1965, 85 S.Ct. 1344 [April 26, 1965].
