Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

The State of Texas v. Stephen John Holcombe, Appellee

March 22, 20062006 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 573

Summary

The Court held that the City of Bedford noise ordinance is not unconstitutionally vague because it provides an objective reasonableness standard and gives adequate notice of prohibited conduct. Accordingly, the trial court's suppression order was reversed and the Court of Appeals' judgment was affirmed. A concurring opinion agreed with the result but cautioned that the holding should not preclude other suppression issues.
