The opinion

MANSFIELD, Justice,

dissenting.

For the reasons stated in my dissent in Castillo v. State, 913 S.W.2d 529 (Tex.Crim.App.1995) (plurality), I respectfully dissent. I recognize that the result in the present *519 ease relies on our holding in Castillo , which itself relied on our holding in Garrett v. State, 851 S.W.2d 853 (Tex.Crim.App.1993). I reiterate my contention from my Castillo dissent that Garrett , whose adverse effect on many of this Court’s prior decisions appears to increase with the passage of time, was wrongfully decided.
