Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Turnar Yising Williams, Appellant v. the State of Texas

May 14, 2008253 S.W.3d 673

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas reversed the lower appellate court and held that all three sentences imposed on Williams must run concurrently, because Health & Safety Code § 481.132(d) governs the consolidated offenses and § 481.134(h) does not preclude concurrency. The decision rests on a plain‑meaning construction of the statutes.
