Gloria Renee Watson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that the State's petition for discretionary review was proper because the appellant's notice of appeal did not satisfy Tex. R. App. Proc. 40(b)(1); therefore the lower appellate court's judgment was reversed and the appeal dismissed. Two dissenting opinions argue that the majority misapplies Hernandez and Dillehey and would affirm the appellate court's decision.
