Appellant was convicted of the offense of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. V.T.C.A. Penal Code, ? 31.07. Punishment was assessed at three years confinement in the Texas Department of Corrections. In a published opinion, the Fifth Court of Appeals reversed the judgment of the trial court and entered a judgment of acquittal, finding that there was insufficient evidence to support the conviction. Gardner v. State, 736 S.W.2d 179 (Tex.App.--Dallas 1987). We granted the States petition for discretionary review to determine whether the "Court of Appeals erred in holding that the State must prove that the defendant knew that he did not have the owners consent to drive an automobile before obtaining a conviction for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle." We will affirm.
