Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Richard Arland Taylor, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

June 14, 19671967 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1019

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the warrantless search of the appellant's automobile at the magistrate's office and later at the courthouse was reasonable as incident to his arrest for a traffic violation, given the lack of identification and suspicion the vehicle was stolen. The evidence obtained, including marijuana, was therefore admissible.
