Vernon P. Lyles, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court held that Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. Art. 22.16(a) is unconstitutional because it depends on the invalid provisions of Art. 22.16(c), and affirmed the trial court’s denial of bond remittitur, finding no abuse of discretion. Separate dissenting and concurring opinions argued over the proper effect of Matyastik and the validity of subsection (d).
