MEMORANDUM OPINION1
 
------------
        In 
two issues, appellant Dino Jay Antovoni complains about matters related to the 
punishment phase of his case.  In his first issue, he contends the trial 
court erred in considering prior arrests not resulting in a conviction.  
But appellant has failed to brief this issue; thus, it is waived.  See 
Howard v. State, 137 S.W.3d 282, 286 n.2 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2004, pet. 
ref’d).
        In 
his second issue, appellant challenges the trial court’s refusal to allow him 
to impeach the credibility of a hearsay informant with evidence of his prison 
record and past criminal history.  Appellant did not preserve this 
complaint for our review.  See Tex. R. App. P. 33.1(a)(1); Tex. R. Evid. 103(a)(2); Howard v. 
State, 962 S.W.2d 119, 122 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1997, pet. 
ref’d).  Moreover, appellant later was able to ask the officer questions 
about appellant’s prison record and criminal history without objection.  
Thus, we overrule appellant’s second issue and affirm the trial court’s 
judgment.
