Mary K. Lewis, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the appellant, as a passenger, lacked standing to suppress the marijuana evidence because her detention and removal from the vehicle were not the cause of the search, and that the trial court did not err on the extraneous offense objection, the continuance request, or the sufficiency of the evidence. Justice Clinton, dissenting, argued that the passenger’s illegal detention should permit challenge of the search and that the majority erred in isolating the appellant’s rights from the search.
