Barbara Bell Johnson, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the appellant’s 911 call constituted actual consent to the police’s warrantless entry and limited investigation of her home, rendering the evidence obtained admissible. The Court also concluded that the evidence seized during the third warrantless entry, though obtained without a valid exception, was harmless error. Justice Johnson filed a concurring opinion agreeing with the judgment but disagreeing on the consent analysis and the propriety of the third entry.
