John Dorado, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that a violation of the mandatory notice requirements of Vernon's Annotated Code of Criminal Procedure Article 38.072, §2(b) does not preclude a harm analysis under Rule 81(b)(2), and that admitting outcry testimony without the required written summary was error. Accordingly, the court vacated the appellate judgment and remanded for reconsideration of the harm issue.
