Description
In the first ground of error, appellant contends that an extraneous offense was introduced during the course of the trial "contrary to the facts and circumstances of the case and law of this State." Officer William W. Porter, of the Dallas Police Department, testified on March 14, 1970, he was traveling on Grand Avenue when an old model pickup came North on Gould Street and made a left hand turn in front of his car and that said pickup had no tail light on it. The officer stopped the pickup. Appellant was the only occupant other than the driver. Officer Porter testified that he first questioned the driver, who in response to the officers question, told him that he had no drivers license. "I proceeded on up to the front of the vehicle and shined my light inside where the driver was sitting, just to check the passenger there, and I noticed that the vehicle was hot wired." Officer Porter further testified that he determined the vehicle did not belong to either of the parties in said vehicle, and that he arrested both of them. It is not contended that the arrest was illegal.
