Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Dwayne Carry Lloyd Aka Dwayne Kerry Lloyd, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

December 13, 19781978 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1414

Summary

The Court affirmed the revocation of appellant’s probation, finding no abuse of discretion. It held that the evidence was sufficient to show appellant knew the check was forged, that proof of the check’s validity was unnecessary under the forgery statute, and that a subsequent acquittal does not affect a revocation. Justice VOLLERS, in a concurring opinion, agreed with the result but argued that knowledge of forgery is not required to prove intent to defraud.
