Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Lee Warren Eisenhauer, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
October 17, 19841984 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 778
Summary
The Court held that the warrantless arrest and search of Eisenhauer were supported by probable cause under the totality‑of‑the‑circumstances test articulated in Illinois v. Gates, so the motion to suppress was correctly denied; the Court of Appeals' decision was reversed and the case remanded. The dissenting judges argued that Texas law still requires the Aguilar two‑prong test and that the majority improperly applied Gates.
