Description
A jury found appellant, Melvin Leon Jackson, guilty of three counts of robbery. See Tex. Penal Code 29.02 (a)(2). After appellant pleaded true to two enhancement allegations, the trial court assessed punishment at 55 years imprisonment. The Thirteenth Court of Appeals reversed, holding that appellant was denied his Sixth Amendment right to the effective assistance of counsel. Jackson v. State, 850 S.W.2d 834 (Tex. App. -- Corpus Christi 1993). We granted the States petitions for discretionary review, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 200(c)(3), to determine whether the court of appeals erred in holding that appellants trial counsel was ineffective due to his failure to challenge a venire member who eventually was seated on the jury.
