Beth Suzanne Landers, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the trial court and Court of Appeals judgments, holding that the district attorney’s prior representation of the appellant did not violate her due‑process rights because no confidential information was used in the prosecution. The court applied an abuse‑of‑discretion standard to the trial court’s factual findings and a de novo standard to the legal question of disqualification.
