January 14, 19811981 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1130
Summary
The Court granted the State's motion for rehearing and affirmed Samuel Hawkins' conviction, holding that the alleged errors—including the trial court's allowance of a witness's comments on Hawkins' self‑representation, the voluntariness of his confession, denial of a law library, and other asserted violations—were either harmless or without merit.
