Lawron Eugene Coleman, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court held that appellant failed to make a sufficient showing of materiality and favorableness of the reporters' testimony, so the trial court was correct in quashing the subpoenas and the Court of Appeals erred; the judgment was vacated and the case remanded. Justice OVERSTREET dissented, arguing the majority misapplied the burden and would have affirmed the appellate court's decision.
