The State of Texas, Appellant v. Raymond Lee Bates, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas granted the appellee's petition for discretionary review, holding that the February 4, 1992 order granting a new trial was appealable and gave the appellate court jurisdiction, but reversed the lower appellate court's decision on the July 3, 1991 order because the State failed to perfect its appeal within the required 15 days, and dismissed the third ground as improper. The cause was remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
