Robert Allen Hulit, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the lower courts, holding that Article I, Section 9 of the Texas Constitution does not require a warrant for a seizure and that the officer's community‑caretaking stop of the appellant was reasonable. The opinion also notes that the Texas Constitution may afford less protection than the Fourth Amendment. Separate opinions include a dissent arguing the opposite and several concurrences affirming the judgment while differing on the analysis.
