David Oakley, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that the jury instruction on parole required by Article 37.07, Section 4(a) does not violate the due‑course‑of‑law provisions of the Texas Constitution after the amendment of Article IV, Section 11(a). The amendment supersedes the earlier constitutional objections and Article I, Section 29 does not give the Bill of Rights supremacy over later specific provisions.
