Don Howard Standley, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the trial court's order revoking probation and remanded the case, holding that the indictment for conversion by bailee was fundamentally defective because it failed to allege the value of the property, rendering the conviction void and subject to habeas corpus attack. The majority also overruled Ex parte Roberts. A dissent argued that overruling Roberts was unnecessary.
