Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Dennis Michael McCambridge, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

May 14, 19861986 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1275

Summary

The Court held that the Sixth Amendment right to counsel did not attach until formal charges were filed, so no denial occurred, and that no Miranda or Edwards violation occurred because the police’s questioning did not rise to the level of interrogation. Accordingly, the Court vacated the Court of Appeals’ judgment and remanded for further consideration of the appellant’s state‑constitutional claims.
