Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Douglas Michael Hubert, Appellant v. the State of Texas
May 26, 20102010 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 636
Summary
The Court held that the appellant's grandfather had actual authority to consent to a search of the appellant's bedroom, making the search reasonable under the Fourth Amendment; therefore the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the trial court's denial of the motion to suppress. Justice Meyers dissented, arguing the State was estopped from raising the error it invited.
