Description

Appellant was convicted of aggravated kidnapping and sentenced to ninety-nine years confinement in the Texas Department of Corrections. On appeal to the Twelfth Court of Appeals, appellant complained that the trial courts admission of evidence that appellant was incarcerated in "administrative segregation" of the Beto I Unit of the Texas Department of Corrections was erroneous because such evidence constituted evidence of bad conduct, in contravention of Rule 404 of the Texas Rules of Evidence. The Court of Appeals agreed and reversed appellants conviction, concluding that the evidence was not introduced merely to show where the offense occurred, but to imply that appellant was a violent person. See Mayes v. State, 816 S.W.2d 79 (Tex.App.Tyler, No. 12-86-239-CR, delivered November 10, 1987). We granted petition for discretionary review to determine if the Court of Appeals erred in ruling that the trial court acted improperly in admitting into evidence the respondents confinement in the administrative segregation wing of Beto I. Tex.R.App.Pro., Rule 200(c)(2).
