Elmer Dwayne Blankenship, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

November 15, 19891989 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 203

Summary

The Court held that the evidence was insufficient to prove the structure was a "habitation" under Texas Penal Code §30.01(1), reversing the conviction and remanding for entry of a judgment of acquittal; Justice McCormick dissented, arguing the majority improperly redefined habitation and should have affirmed the conviction.
