In Carter v. State, 140 Tex. Crim. 324, 144 S.W.2d 582 (1940) the Court held that, when a defendant in an underlying criminal case attached juror Carter's affidavit, which allegedly contained false statements, to his motion for a new trial, the juror's affidavit had been "used" in the underlying criminal proceedings. Specifically, we stated: under the statute defining perjury ... it was not necessary that the affidavit be introduced in evidence if it was attached to the motion for a new trial.
