James Carey Rankin, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas granted the State's petition for discretionary review, reversed the Court of Appeals' judgment, and remanded for further consideration of the appellant's remaining points of error. It held that the appellant's admission was not an extraneous offense and that the prosecutor could argue conviction based on that admission. The opinion was accompanied by multiple dissenting and concurring writings.
