Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Lunde v. State

July 1, 1987736 S.W.2d 665

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the conviction, holding that the warrantless arrest of Lunde was justified under Article 14.01(b) because the officers had probable cause based on a reliable informant tip and their observations. The Court also held that the escape provision of Article 14.04 was not applicable, so no evidence of attempted escape was required.
