Rufino Rodriguez Gonzales, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded, holding that the trial court did not err in denying a mistrial despite the prosecutor's improper question about prior charges, because the jury instruction to disregard the question cured any prejudice. The Court also clarified that a motion in limine does not preserve error unless an objection is made at the time the evidence is offered.
