William Carlyle Drumm, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court reversed the conviction for driving while the appellant's license was suspended, holding that the trial court erred in denying the motion to quash because the information failed to give adequate notice of the specific statutory basis for the suspension. The reversal was based on the constitutional requirement of notice and the presumption of innocence. The decision overruled Grider v. State. Justice Douglas, dissenting, argued the majority wrongly overruled Grider and would have affirmed the judgment.
