Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Timothy R. Cassias, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

November 19, 19861986 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 879

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that the warrant affidavit did not establish probable cause under the Fourth Amendment, reversing the convictions and remanding for a new trial. The Court applied the totality‑of‑the‑circumstances test and found the informant’s information insufficiently connected to the premises.
