Daniel D. Garcia, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals' decision, holding that the trial court properly admitted evidence of the prior "car dumping" incident under Article 38.36(a) and Rule 404(b) to illustrate the nature of the marital relationship, and that the appellate court erred in finding the error harmful. Justice Price dissented, arguing that the appellate court correctly found the evidence inadmissible and that the judgment should be affirmed.
