Pasqual Luna v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Tenth Court of Appeals affirmed Pasqual Luna’s felony DWI conviction and forty-year sentence. The court held that sufficient evidence supported the two prior DWI convictions used for enhancement, including evidence linking Luna to the 1996 conviction and evidence establishing the finality of the 2004 conviction.

Holdings

1. The evidence was sufficient for a rational jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Luna was the person convicted of the March 1996 DWI.
2. The evidence was sufficient for the jury to find the alleged March 2004 DWI conviction true, including that it constituted a final judgment.

Questions Presented

1. Whether sufficient evidence linked Luna to the alleged March 1996 prior DWI conviction.
2. Whether sufficient evidence established that the alleged March 2004 DWI conviction was a final judgment.

Disposition
