Description
The offense is the possession of heroin; the punishment, life. Undercover Officer Tissue of the Narcotic Squad of the Houston Police Department testified that through the intervention of an informer, Charles Moore, he received a telephone call from a man who identified himself as Don, but whose voice the officer later identified as being appellant's. The officer testified that in this conversation the appellant stated that he would soon receive several thousand dollars worth of heroin and that he (the officer) would be given a chance to see the stuff before buying it. This was followed during the ensuing three weeks by several telephone calls from appellant in which he explained that the delay in the delivery of the heroin was occasioned by a flood on the Rio Grande. On October 29, appellant reported to Tissue that the heroin had arrived and arrangements were made for appellant, Moore and Tissue to meet to effect delivery. The three drove to the point of delivery in two automobiles. Moore, the informer, rode with appellant a portion of the way and with Tissue the remainder. Finally appellant brought his automobile to a halt at a vacant house near a junk yard, and Tissue met appellant. According to Officer Tissue, after lengthy negotiations as to how the money was to be delivered and how the heroin was to be inspected, appellant got out of his automobile, went to an old tire leaning up against the vacant house and removed some packages which were delivered to Tissue. At this juncture, Tissue, being satisfied that his fellow officers who had followed the two automobiles to the rendezvous point were in position to arrest appellant, drew his pistol, demanded the return of his money and gave appellant back the packages. At this moment, the other officers arrived, found the packages in appellant's lap and on the seat where he was sitting and placed him under arrest.
