Jessie Ray Jones, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Jessie Ray Jones's conviction for capital murder, holding that the arrest warrant sufficiently named an offense, the affidavit provided probable cause, the seizure of items was lawful under search‑incident‑to‑arrest and plain view doctrines, non‑compliance with Articles 15.25 and 15.26 did not invalidate the arrest, the extraneous offense evidence was admissible to establish identity, and the trial judge did not err in refusing a mistrial at the punishment stage.
