Description
A jury convicted appellant of aggravated sexual assault and the trial court assessed punishment, enhanced by use of a prior felony conviction, delivery of heroin, at imprisonment for twenty-five (25) years in the Texas Department of Corrections, now the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. The Third Court of Appeals affirmed the trial courts judgment in an unpublished opinion. See Ramirez v. State, No. 3-87-271-CR (Tex.App. - Austin, delivered January 25, 1989). We granted appellants petition for discretionary review in order to make the determination whether the court of appeals correctly ruled that it was proper for the prosecuting attorney to question K R , the natural mother of A R , the eight year old complaining witness, about K R s prior use of heroin, and whether such questioning constituted an attempt to impeach K R on a collateral issue. We will reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and remand this cause to the trial court for proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
