Jose Marin, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court held that an attorney appointed to replace originally appointed counsel is entitled to the statutory ten days of preparation under Tex.Code Crim.Proc.Ann. art. 1.051(e), found the statute violated because the substitute counsel had only six days, and therefore reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for compliance. Justice Meyers filed a concurring opinion disagreeing with the majority's reasoning but reaching the same result.
