Phillip David Hunnicutt, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Phillip David Hunnicutt's aggravated rape conviction, holding that the seizure of items from his automobile was lawful under both the State and Federal Constitutions and that his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was without merit. The search was justified by consent, plain view, and the suspect's own statements, and any error was deemed harmless. The out‑of‑state counsel issue did not constitute deficient representation.
