Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Jerry Dorsey Johnson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

December 23, 19861986 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 896

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the warrantless arrest was valid under Article 14.03 and the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments, that the search warrant was invalid but suppression was unnecessary because untainted evidence was sufficient, and that a plea of nolo contendere does not waive the right to appeal pretrial motions.
