Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Johnny Dell Williams, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

December 6, 19891989 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 222

Summary

The Court denied the State’s petition for discretionary review of the Fort Worth Court of Appeals’ interlocutory order abating the appeal and overruled the State’s motion for rehearing. It held that such an order does not constitute a final decision for discretionary review, following Measeles, and expressly overruled Dugard’s contrary view.
