State of Texas v. Gabriela Terrazas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that a trial court may dismiss an indictment with prejudice when a due process or due course of law violation occurs, and that the list of authorized dismissal circumstances is illustrative, not exclusive. The case is remanded for the Court of Appeals to reconsider the dismissal issue and to address the suppression claim.
