Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Martin Luther Adams, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

February 5, 19861986 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1209

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the lower appellate court's judgment that the information's failure to identify which specific film was alleged obscene did not prejudice the appellant's substantial rights, and therefore the conviction stands. The Court also overruled Jeffers v. State, allowing review of prejudice beyond the face of the charging instrument.
