R. C. Hullum, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the conviction of R. C. Hullum, Jr. for theft by false pretext, holding that the evidence supported the finding that he obtained money under a false pretense and that the county court had jurisdiction to try the misdemeanor on a properly transferred indictment. The Court also rejected the appellant's constitutional challenges to the indictment and the transfer order. A dissenting opinion argued that the complainant's testimony was not equivocal and opposed the granting of rehearing.
