If a defendant has been convicted of a 3rd degree or higher felony and faces another 3rd-degree felony charge, upon conviction they will face 2nd-degree felony sentencing; The question in this case is whether the State's notice of intent to enhance punishment, given six days before trial began, was timely. Prior convictions for non-aggravated state jail felonies cannot be used to enhance other felonies.16 This places a limit on further enhancement of a state jail felony because the enhancement only increases the punishment and does not transform the primary crime into a new higher offense.17, When a specific prior conviction is made an element of the offense, the offense must fit within the actual elements of the crime defined by the particular enhancement statute.18 These statutes are considered special enhancement provisions.19 These special provisions also preclude use of those specified offense types for general enhancement even if additional convictions of that type are alleged beyond those necessary to raise the offense level.20 Other types of crimes, so long as they are distinct from the offenses listed in the special enhancement provisions and not used for both purposes, may be used as general enhancements to raise the punishment level of the increased offense created by the special enhancement.21, Foreign convictions from other states and federal jurisdictions can be used for Texas enhancement.22 The general enhancement provisions require only proof of a prior felony conviction from a jurisdiction within the United States.23 When a prior conviction from another jurisdiction is not labeled as a felony, its classification is determined by the length of the sentence and/or by the type of confinement facility.24, For documentation proving the foreign conviction to be admissible, the proponent of the prior conviction evidence has the burden to prove the other jurisdictions evidentiary requirements or the courts will presume the law is the same as in Texas.25 A trial court can take judicial notice of the other jurisdictions laws.26 This can be particularly important in situations where another jurisdiction considers a probated sentence final whereas Texas law would not.27, Some enhancement statutes permit use of foreign convictions identified only as the same type of crime as the charged offense if they have substantially similar elements.28 Whether elements are substantially similar is determined by examining the individual or public interests protected and the impact of the elements on the seriousness of the offenses.29 This determination is a question of law.30 Because the statutes require only the elements to be similar, the facts and circumstances of commission need not be similar to the charged offense.31, There are restrictions on multiple use of individual prior convictions for enhancement. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has recognized "evidence of a certified copy of a final judgment and sentence may be a preferred and convenient means" to prove a prior conviction. Under Texas law, you may get a harsher punishment if you are a repeat criminal offender. Below please find a list of required notices for new employees of Texas State. See, e.g., Littles v.
