September 26, 19841984 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 771

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that conviction under Texas Penal Code §38.02 requires proof that the defendant knew the person requesting identification was a peace officer, reversed the Court of Appeals' decision, and remanded for further proceedings. The summary notes two dissenting opinions that contest the majority's approach to the agreed‑case procedure and the sufficiency of the evidence.
