Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Roy Lynn Campbell, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas
November 10, 19991999 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 130
Summary
The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Fourth Court of Appeals' finding that the trial court's restitution recommendation exceeded the property-value range of the theft conviction and affirmed the trial court's judgment. It held that restitution may be ordered in an amount justified by the record even if it exceeds the statutory theft value range, provided the victim loss is factual and the judgment names the beneficiaries. The Court also affirmed the remand directing the trial court to specify the victims and apportion restitution. Justice Johnson filed a concurring opinion disagreeing with the majority's analysis of the Hefner decision.
