Description
Appellants sole contention is that the evidence is insufficient to sustain a conviction of robbery. The record reflects that on September 25, 1974, appellant parked in front and across the lines of a Mr. M. Store in Irving. As he approached the store the attendant yelled to her daughter who was in the rear of the store that they were about to be robbed. Appellant pushed on the door of the store as if to enter but walked around the corner of the shopping center and went into Triangle Cleaners. Ester Stevens, an employee, was in the rear of the store. She saw appellant in front of the store. She saw him put his hand in his pocket and heard the cash register slam shut. When she asked if she could help him, he answered that he was looking for his ticket. When she told him that they did not use tickets, he left. Miss Stevens then looked in the cash register and discovered that some money was missing. Miss Stevens then ran to the front door. Appellant turned and ran towards his car and she yelled for the police. Appellant got in his car and made a "horseshoe" turn to get out of the parking lot. He turned out of the lot onto Darr Street and drove down the street for about a quarter of a block and turned back into the shopping center lot behind the buildings. The exit driveway was blocked by another vehicle and appellant stopped his car within twenty feet of the back of Triangle Cleaners.
