In the Matter of A.P.

The evidence is legally and factually sufficient to support the jury's findings that a juvenile was one of two shooters who fired shots that hit the victims house and that either of the two shooters intentionally or knowingly threatened the victim with imminent bodily injury.

FROM THE 323RD DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

OPINION

A.P., a juvenile, appeals from a judgment that he engaged in delinquent conduct and from a disposition order committing him to the Texas Youth Commission for a term not to exceed ten years, with a possible transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. The jury found that A.P. had committed the offense of aggravated assault against Ramona Martinez. In three issues, A.P. contends that the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the jury’s findings that he committed the offense of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and that the trial court failed to orally make certain findings necessary to support the disposition ordered. We affirm because the evidence is both legally and factually sufficient to support the jury’s verdict and because the trial court did not err by failing to make oral findings necessary to support the disposition ordered where the necessary findings are included within the disposition order.
