Felix Edward Cantu, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals' decision that the lack of Miranda warnings barred the admission of the appellant's statements to a Department of Human Services investigator. The court held that the investigator was not a law‑enforcement agent for Miranda purposes and that the statements were admissible. It also affirmed the trial court's discretionary findings absent clear abuse. The case was remanded for consideration of the appellant's remaining points of error.
