Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Willie Lee Johnson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
September 27, 19781978 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1287
Summary
The Court affirmed Willie Lee Johnson's conviction for unlawfully carrying a handgun. It held that transporting a handgun from an old residence to a new residence qualifies as the statutory "traveling" defense under Sec. 46.03(3), but the State is not required to present affirmative evidence to rebut that defense, and the trial court's jury instructions were proper.
