• holding that no error was preserved for appellate review of deprivation of fair trial issue when appellant’s contention that trial court underlined potions of its charge was speculative, disputed by State, and “made for the first time on appeal”
• “Appellant did not raise the issue of the severity of his sentence either during the punishment phase of trial or in a motion for new trial, and therefore failed to preserve the complaint for appellate review.”
• “The record contains no indication as to who underscored the lines. We will not accept as fact appellant’s assertions in his appellate brief, which the State disputes as speculative, and which are not supported by the record.”
