Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Guy Morgan, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

March 6, 19851985 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1240

Summary

The Court held that the appellant preserved his Fourth Amendment search and seizure claim for appellate review, overruled prior cases (Haney, Stiggers, Ferguson) that barred such review, and remanded the case for a new plea hearing. Justice ONION dissented, arguing the conviction should be affirmed, while Justice TEAGUE concurred and urged explicit overruling of several precedents.
