Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Ex Parte Sam Carson.

January 7, 1942143 Tex. Crim. 498

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's order remanding Sam Carson and instructed that the $1.00 law‑library fee be eliminated as a cost. It held that the fee is not a proper cost in criminal cases and that the statute imposing it is unconstitutional as a local law and as a violation of equal protection.
