Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Larry Wayne Sisco, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

February 6, 19801980 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1099

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that a trial court must apply a "any evidence" (more than a scintilla) standard when deciding whether to impanel a jury to determine a defendant's competency, and therefore abated the appeal and remanded for a new determination consistent with that standard.
