Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Humberto Almazo Hoyos, Appellant v. the State of Texas
November 18, 19981998 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 153
Summary
The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the trial court did not err in excluding evidence of the complainant's anticipated civil lawsuit because the appellant failed to show its relevance to bias. The majority distinguished prior cases and found none of the four relevance factors were satisfied, while a dissent argued the evidence was relevant and should have been admitted.
