Description
Following a non-jury trial, appellant was convicted of the third degree felony offense of escape. Tex. Penal Code Ann. sec. 38.07(c)(2) (Vernon 1974). His punishment, enhanced by proof of a prior felony conviction, was assessed at six years confinement. He urges two points of error on appeal. On November 20, 1984, appellant was convicted of burglary of a habitation and sentenced to five years confinement in the Texas Department of Corrections. Six months later, on May 17, 1985, he was moved under pre-parole transfer to a halfway house in Houston, Texas, pursuant to Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. art. 6166x-4 (Vernon 1986). Evidence showed that appellant was informed both orally and in writing that the halfway house was ""designated as a unit of TDC,"" and that any unauthorized departure by him prior to his release on parole would subject him to prosecution for the offense of escape.
