The district attorney's advisory letter, which advised 8-liner operators that it is a criminal offense unless all payouts for winning are in the form of non-cash merchandise prizes, toys, or novelties, was admissible to show the defendant's intent to participate in criminal activity. The letter was not offered as an accurate statement of gambling law; rather, it was offered to show the defendant chose to continue her unlawful conduct after being advised by the district attorney it was illegal. Her decision to continue to operate 8-liners was not dependent on the truth of the letter. Pardue v. State, 06-07-00112-CR [1].
