Description
A jury found appellant, Phuong Hoai Cao, guilty of two felony offenses of burglary of a habitation and acquitted him of the felony offense of possession of a firearm by a felon. After finding true an enhancement paragraph alleging a previous felony burglary, the trial court assessed punishment at forty years confinement for each burglary offense, with the sentences to run concurrently. In this appeal, Cao contends the evidence is legally insufficient to support his convictions for burglary of a habitation because the State failed to produce corroborating accomplice testimony as required by Article 38.14 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. We affirm the conviction in cause number 942823 and reverse the conviction and render a judgment of acquittal in cause number 961668. We withdraw our earlier opinion in this case and issue this opinion in its stead. Our disposition remains unchanged.
