Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

In a prosecution of defendant for criminal mischief for damaging a mobile home, court of appeals' judgment of acquittal is reversed as a non-expert property owner's testimony about the cost of repairing or restoring his damaged property can be sufficient without further evidence to prove the pecuniary-loss element of a criminal mischief offense.
