Description

Appellant was convicted of two counts of theft over $200.00. Punishment was assessed at four years on each count, probated. The Texarkana Court of Appeals affirmed appellants conviction in an unpublished opinion. Sullivan v. State, No. 6-83-091-CR, delivered April 10, 1984 (Tex.App.-Texarkana 1984). In its opinion the court relied on the rule that an owner of personal property may testify to the propertys market value even though he does not qualify as an expert. We granted appellants petition for discretionary review to examine that rule as applied to this case and specifically the Court of Appeals holding that the testimony of the owner was sufficient to prove the market value of the stolen property, a gun.
