Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Ex Parte Manuel Amador, Appellant
October 13, 20102010 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1296
Summary
The Court held that the Double Jeopardy Clause bars a subsequent prosecution for indecency with a child after a conviction for the lesser‑included offense of indecent exposure, reaffirming its prior Briceno holding. It reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for proceedings consistent with that rule. Justice Keller dissented, arguing that multiple counts are permissible, while Justice Cochran concurred.
