Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Gilberto A. Guzman, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

April 2, 19751975 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 905

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Guzman's conviction for burglary of a private residence at night, rejecting his challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence, the legality of the warrantless arrest and search, the trial court's questioning of a witness, the alleged waiver of the 10‑day preparation period, and the inclusion of supplemental materials in the appellate record. Justice Odom dissented, arguing that the majority misinterpreted Article 40.09 and improperly allowed new record material.
