Robert Delgado, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that the warrantless arrest of Delgado was valid under Article 14.01(b) because probable cause existed, that the subsequent inventory of the vehicle's trunk was proper and not a forced entry, and that the warrantless search of the trunk was justified by probable cause. The dissent argued that Article 14.01(b) requires the offense to be committed in the officer's view and that the inventory issue was not before the Court.
