Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Clifton F. Ferguson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
October 11, 19781978 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1360
Summary
The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that because no evidence obtained from the contested search warrant was introduced and the defendant's guilty plea was supported by an independent judicial confession, the alleged illegal search presented no error for review; an erroneous pre‑trial suppression ruling does not vitiate the conviction.
