Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

George James Santikos, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

June 3, 19921992 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 131

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the conviction, holding that Section 101.04 of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code is constitutional as applied because the warrantless inspection was conducted during regular business hours and satisfies the Burger criteria; the Court declined to address the facial validity of the statute. Justice Clinton dissented, arguing the statute fails the constitutional adequacy test.
