Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

The State of Texas v. Allen Brian Velasquez, Appellee

June 16, 19991999 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 80

Summary

The Court held that the police encounter on the bus was consensual, the bag was abandoned, and the search was lawful, thus reversing the appellate court and remanding for further proceedings. Justice Meyers dissented, arguing the Court exceeded its discretionary review authority and should have left the lower court's decision intact.
