Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

David Lacour, Appellant v. the State of Texas

January 5, 20002000 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 3

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals' judgment and remanded the case, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support a conviction for disorderly conduct under Section 42.01(a)(12) and that the proper standard of review is the Jackson v. Virginia "rational trier of fact" test. The Court emphasized that the statute's plain language does not create exceptions for remote locations or the number of participants, and that recklessness is measured by an ordinary reasonable person standard.
