## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that a contention on appeal that the State’s jury argument commented on a defendant’s failure to testify was forfeited because at trial the defendant objected on the ground that the argument was ―outside the record‖
- stating that a district court's procedure of postponing veniremembers' service "is proper upon a request from a juror"

## Opinion text

ROBERTS, Judge
(concurring).
I write to emphasize that this is a direct appeal, not a habeas corpus application seeking relief in the nature of an out-of-time appeal. See Ex Parte Dickey (Tex.Cr.App.1976) No. 51,405, decided May 4, 1976). Therefore, since appellant gave notice of appeal within ten days after sentence, his appeal is before this Court. Art. 44.08, Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P.
