Description

Appellant Dennis Clark Goodwin was arrested for assaulting a family member. Appellant was charged with enhanced family violence assault because of a prior conviction for assault on a member of his household. He was tried to a jury which found him guilty. The jury sentenced him to nine years in jail and a $5,000 fine. Appellant appeals the conviction with three points: 1) the trial court committed error by denying a motion for mistrial based on improper jury argument; 2) the trial court committed error by improperly denying Appellant the opportunity to impeach the complainant with her mental health problems; and 3) the evidence is insufficient to establish that Appellant had been previously convicted of an assault involving a family member pursuant to Texas Penal Code section 22.01(b)(2). We affirm.
