Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Edna Kaye Davis, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

January 12, 1994870 S.W.2d 43

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the appellant's general notice of appeal did not confer jurisdiction to review either the pretrial suppression motion or the sufficiency of the evidence, and that the appellant could not amend the notice out of time. The decision was based on a plain reading of Tex. R.App.Pro. Rule 40(b)(1).
