The State of Texas v. John Dominick Colyandro, James Walter Ellis, and Thomas Dale Delay, Appellees

Summary

The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment quashing the conspiracy charges, holding that Penal Code §15.02 does not apply to Election Code offenses prior to the 2003 amendment and that the precedents Moore and Baker remain valid and not subject to limitation or overruling. The opinion notes dissenting and concurring opinions that argue for a broader application of the conspiracy statute or future reconsideration of the precedents.
