Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Because Article 42.12, section 9(a) of Texas- Code of Criminal Procedure allows the inclusion, in a presentencing (PSI) investigation report, of any information relating to the defendant or the offense, the trial court did not abuse its discretion when sentencing the defendant in considering that portion of a PSI report, which contained the victim-s belief concerning the defendant-s suitability for probation.
