June 23, 20042004 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1019

Summary

The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment, holding that appellate factual‑sufficiency review is limited to the elements of the offense and does not extend to the admissibility of evidence under Article 38.23(a). The dissent argued that the appellate courts should be able to review such factual issues and would have vacated and remanded the case.
