Raymond McNairy, Iii, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the conviction of Raymond McNairy, III, holding that the warrantless entry into his trailer was justified by probable cause and exigent circumstances, and that his claims regarding landlord consent, procedural preservation, and the facial validity of the warrant were procedurally defaulted. The Court rejected the landlord's authority to consent to a tenant's search but found the officers’ actions lawful under the Fourth Amendment.
