Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Lennie Keith Armstrong, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

May 3, 1977550 S.W.2d 25

Summary

The Court held that Officer Murphy lacked the specific, articulable facts necessary to justify an investigative stop of Armstrong's vehicle, rendering the search unlawful and the conviction reversed and remanded. Justice Douglas, dissenting, argued the stop was lawful and the record issues should preclude reversal.
