Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Armando Robles, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

January 24, 19791979 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1304

Summary

The Court held that the trial court failed to obtain a voluntary, knowing, and intelligent waiver of the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to counsel before allowing him to proceed without counsel. Because no such waiver was shown and the defendant was not warned of the dangers of self‑representation, the conviction was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings.
