Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Wendy Lee Coit, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

May 15, 1991808 S.W.2d 473

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the conviction of Wendy Lee Coit, holding that the statutory terms for financial responsibility do not require proof of liability insurance, that the sole testimony of an officer was insufficient to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and that double jeopardy bars any retrial, directing a judgment of acquittal.
