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 *519ease 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.
