William Berry Haynes, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Haynes's conviction for unlawful possession of marijuana. It held that the search warrant sufficiently described the apartment, that the seizure of an envelope containing the defendant's address did not violate the Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, or Texas Constitution, and that the officer's testimony about the envelope was not hearsay nor a best‑evidence violation. The Court also found the evidence sufficient to support the verdict.
