Hector Castro, Appellant v. the State of Texas

June 27, 20072007 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 863

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals' decision, holding that a failure to signal a lane change is an objective fact, that trial courts' implied factual findings are entitled to deference, that hearsay testimony about the traffic violation can support reasonable suspicion, and that the Ford holding does not apply to objective traffic offenses.
