Ward v. State

DALLY, Judge,

dissenting.

Childs v. State, 491 S.W.2d 907 (Tex.Cr.App.1973); Salazar v. State, 494 S.W.2d 548 (Tex.Cr.App.1973); Navajar v. State, 496 S.W.2d 61 (Tex.Cr.App.1973); Howard v. State, 505 S.W.2d 306 (Tex.Cr.App.1974); Partida v. State, 506 S.W.2d 209 (Tex.Cr.App.1974); Hurd v. State, 513 S.W.2d 936 (Tex.Cr.App.1924); Mitchell v. State, 517 S.W.2d 282 (Tex.Cr.App.1975) and other cases cannot be distinguished from this case. If they were correctly decided the same rule should be applied to this case and it should also be affirmed. This is especially so when the appellant admits in his brief that the testimony of his wife put his reputation in issue. I dissent.
