Description

FRANK G. EVANS Chief Justice This is an appeal from a conviction of theft. A jury found appellant guilty and assessed punishment at seven days confinement in the county jail and a fine of $200. We affirm. In her sole ground of error, appellant contends that she received ineffective assistance of trial counsel, because her trial counsel failed to request that a court reporter be present to prepare a record of the trial proceedings, pursuant to Tex. Code Crim. P. Ann. art. 40.09(4) (Vernon 1979). Appellant alleges that such failure has prevented her from an effective appeal, because there is now no way of ascertaining what error, if any, occurred during trial.
