Silas Owendoff Angel, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the State waived its right to raise appellant's standing because it was not presented to the Court of Appeals, that Officer Toombs had authority to make a warrantless arrest for a traffic offense, and that Tomball city police officers possess county‑wide jurisdiction to arrest offenders. The decision resolves a conflict among prior cases on police jurisdiction and declines to address the State's standing claim. Separate dissenting opinions contest the majority's construction of jurisdiction and the waiver analysis.
