Maurice Eugene Dancy, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the conviction of Maurice Dancy, holding that he was not under arrest when he voluntarily accompanied police to the station and that the search warrant was valid despite alleged false statements. Accordingly, the hair sample, shoes, and other evidence were admissible. Justice Clinton dissented, arguing that Dancy was effectively seized when he provided the hair sample and shoe and that the evidence should have been suppressed.
