Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Michael James Funderburg, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

October 8, 19861986 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 837

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment, holding that Michael James Funderburg voluntarily waived his Sixth Amendment right to self‑representation after consulting counsel, and therefore his conviction stands. A dissent argued the waiver was not voluntary and that untimely bills of exception should not have been considered.
