Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Virgil Crawford, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

September 25, 19851985 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1464

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that the State must elect a specific act of intercourse when multiple distinct acts are alleged, that the trial court's limiting instruction on extraneous offenses was erroneous because it allowed impeachment of credibility, and that the alleged acts were not a continuous course of conduct. Accordingly, the Amarillo Court's judgment was affirmed and the case was reversed and remanded to the trial court.
