Tony Joe Romo, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Romo's conviction for heroin possession, holding that the prosecutor's arguments were waived by failure to object, the juror‑police conversation did not merit a new trial, the accomplice jury charge was not fundamentally defective, and Romo received reasonably effective assistance of counsel. Justice Clinton dissented, arguing the accomplice charge omitted a required statutory element.
