Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Ralph Antonio Couret, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

June 27, 19901990 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 125

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that testimony about a hypodermic needle found on the appellant at the time of his arrest was extraneous and inadmissible because it was not relevant to the burglary charge. Accordingly, it reversed the Court of Appeals' affirmation of the conviction and remanded for a harmless error analysis.
