Santos Mireles, Jr. v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Thirteenth Court of Appeals' judgment of acquittal and affirmed the conviction for indecency with a child, holding that a jury instruction that does not define “on or about” does not require proof of the specific date alleged and may be satisfied by evidence that the offense occurred within the statutory limitations period. Justice Meyers dissented, and Justices Baird and Clinton filed concurring opinions.
