Description

Officer Garcia of the narcotics division of the Houston police testified that on the day in question he received information by telephone from a reliable and credible person that appellant could be found in the 1600 block of Houston Avenue in a 1960 green Chevrolet, license number SR 6700, and that he had a quantity of narcotics in his possession; that he, in company with Officer Strickland and others, proceeded at once to said location, and as he approached the automobile which had been described to him he observed appellant, who was seated therein alone, "reaching under the front seat directly behind him." He identified himself as an officer, reached under the seat and pulled out a black holster that contained a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver. Appellant was then carried to the station, and Officer Strickland took charge of the weapon and made out the offense report. Appellant did not testify or offer any evidence in his own behalf, and we find the evidence sufficient to support the conviction.
