Jurors found Cesar Mojica guilty of first-degree offenses on all 14 counts of child abuse he was being tried for Thursday.
The verdict was returned at 5 p.m. Thursday after more than two full days of deliberation.
Mojica, 24, hit, bit, burned and otherwise injured his three young children, who were also suffering from malnutrition when seized by child welfare authorities in October 2006.
The punishment phase of the trial begins Friday at 9 a.m. at the Hays County Justice Center.
See Friday's edition of the Daily Record for the full story.
