Court of Appeals affirmed. Menchaca v. State, 854 S.W.2d 128,, (Tex.App.--Austin, delivered February 13, 1991, pet. ref'd).
Applicant contends he was denied the effective assistance of counsel at trial.1 Applicant was tried for delivery of 0.13 grams of methamphetamine. During cross-examination, the State elicited testimony
from applicant concerning his prior conviction for rape.2 Applicant contends his trial counsel was ineffective in failing
to file a motion in limine to prohibit introduction of a prior conviction; failing to object to the prosecutor's examination
regarding the prior conviction; failing to request, or object to the omission of, an instruction limiting the jury's consideration
of the prior conviction to impeaching applicant's credibility; and, reminding the jury of the prior offense during his closing
argument.
