Kenneth Leroy McIntire, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment that the two convictions arose from the same criminal transaction and therefore the trial court lacked authority to enter both, but reversed the appellate judgment that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a hearing on the motion for new trial, remanding for such a hearing. A dissent argued the majority invented a new procedure, while a concurrence joined the result on the conviction issue.
