Clifton Eugene Cornealius, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court held that the appellant's arrest on his grandmother's porch was lawful under the Fourth Amendment and the Texas Constitution, and therefore his confession was admissible; the Court of Appeals' judgment denying the motion to suppress was affirmed. Justice Baird dissented, arguing the Court should not have addressed an unpreserved issue and should have remanded for consideration of Bell and Comer.
