Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Gumaro Luis Tamez, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

March 17, 19761976 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 903

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the revocation of probation for Gumaro Luis Tamez, Jr., holding that the checkpoint search was not a valid border search and that the blanket probation condition authorizing warrantless searches at any time violated the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments and Texas constitutional provisions. The court also found the revocation motion lacked sufficient particularity, denying due process.
