Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Roger Miller, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

March 14, 19841984 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 621

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas reversed the Corpus Christi Court of Appeals, holding that the in‑court identification of Roger Miller was sufficient to prove his identity and that the warrantless seizure of cocaine was justified by probable cause under Texas v. Brown. The dissent argued the State failed to show a factual nexus between the officer’s experience and probable cause.
