John David Martinez, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The court held that the officer lacked reasonable suspicion to stop appellant's truck based on an anonymous report that a man placed two bicycles in a blue Ford pickup and drove away. The reported conduct was not sufficiently connected to criminal activity, and the officer had inadequate corroboration linking appellant's truck to the report before the stop. The court reversed the court of appeals' judgments and remanded for further proceedings. Keller, P.J., dissenting, would have held that the combination of the truck's description, location, timing, and other circumstances supplied reasonable suspicion for a limited investigative stop.
