Robert D. Lemmons, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court held that Tex.R.App.Pro. Rule 40(b)(1) does not bar an appeal of a pre‑trial motion denial in a misdemeanor case where the guilty plea was conditional, and that the Helms rule does not apply to such plea‑bargain situations; therefore the Court of Appeals judgment was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings.
