June 28, 20002000 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 74
Summary
The Court held that Martinez failed to preserve error on Rudd's expert qualifications and that Rudd's testimony was not hearsay, reversing the Court of Appeals and affirming the trial court's judgment. Justice WOMACK, in a concurring opinion, noted an additional hearsay issue regarding the weight of the substance, but found the error harmless.
