Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Preciliano Carmona, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
March 26, 19971997 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 14
Summary
The Court vacated the Court of Appeals' judgment and remanded for further proceedings, holding that a defendant’s attorney’s disclosure of privileged materials alone does not constitute a waiver of the attorney‑client privilege and that an objection based on the privilege does not preserve a work‑product claim for appeal. The opinion also disavows Fuller’s approach to waiver. Justice Baird filed a concurring opinion agreeing with the majority’s reasoning.
