Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Charles F. Alejos, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

September 14, 1977555 S.W.2d 444

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction for evading arrest, holding that the Penal Code § 38.04, a general statute, properly governs the conduct and that the State may prosecute under that statute even though a more specific traffic statute exists. The statutes are not in pari materia, so the general provision controls.
