Wesley Tarpley, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Wesley Tarpley's conviction for credit card abuse, holding that the evidence was sufficient, the warrantless arrest and search incident to arrest were lawful, the prosecutor's comments did not constitute reversible error, the denial of an examining trial and counsel was not an error, and the indictment was valid. The decision relied on established principles of party liability, warrantless arrests based on third‑party information, and the scope of searches incident to arrest.
