Joseph N. Self, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
May 21, 19861986 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 737

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the conviction, holding that although the warrantless arrest violated Chapter 14 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the confession was not excluded because the Brown attenuation factors showed the taint was overcome, and any error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
