Description
Benito Segura appeals his conviction, after a jury trial, of stalking. The jury assessed punishment at confinement in jail for one year and a fine of $4000. The trial court entered judgment in accordance with the jury's verdict on guilt and punishment. In his sole issue, appellant asserts the trial court erred in denying his motion for a directed verdict on the grounds that he should have been tried on harassment charges instead of stalking charges. Specifically, appellant argues harassment and stalking are in pari materia.*fn2 Accordingly, appellant claims the State was required to prosecute him under the more specific statute respecting the crime of harassment. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 42.07 (Vernon 2003). For reasons that follow, we resolve appellant's sole issue against him and affirm the trial court's judgment.
