Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

The State of Texas, Appellant v. Clortis Foston Roberts, Appellee

December 11, 19961996 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 245

Summary

The Court held that the phrase “motion to suppress evidence” in Art.44.01(a)(5) is limited to motions seeking suppression of evidence illegally obtained, so the trial court’s order granting a motion to exclude civil deposition testimony was not appealable and the State’s petition was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
