Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Mike Ortega, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

March 14, 19841984 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 618

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the conviction for credit‑card abuse, holding that the indictment was sufficient because it alleged an intent to obtain property and services, and that the evidence proved the required intent. The Court also rejected the appellate court's reliance on Love, finding the "and services" allegation was not surplusage and must be proved.
