Curtis Wayne Adams, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Curtis Wayne Adams' conviction for burglary, holding that the officers had probable cause to arrest him under Art. 14.03, V.A.C.C.P. and that the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction. The majority found the circumstances surrounding the television's possession justified the arrest and that the appellant's explanation was unreasonable. Justice Phillips dissented, arguing the evidence was insufficient and the conviction should be reversed and remanded.
