Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Gary Dale Thomason, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

December 21, 19941994 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 142

Summary

The Court held that the indictment charged theft under Tex. Penal Code §31.03, not an aggregated theft under §31.09, and therefore vacated the Court of Appeals' judgment and remanded for reconsideration of the State's obligation to elect a single transaction and to give a limiting instruction. Justice Meyers dissented, arguing the conviction should be reversed.
