Phillip Douglas Campbell, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court reversed the trial court's order revoking probation, holding that the revocation motion failed to give the probationer adequate notice of the specific violation and that a single admission of taking a barbiturate did not satisfy the habit condition; it also affirmed the right to appointed counsel at revocation hearings. Justice Woodley, in a concurring opinion, agreed that the trial judge abused discretion and that no other grounds of error need be considered.
