Anibal Vasquez, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court held that the trial judge's failure to incorporate the abstract definition of the law of parties into the application paragraph of the jury charge was harmless because the abstract definition was present and the defendant did not request a more specific instruction; therefore the conviction stands and the appellate court's reversal is reversed. Justice PRICE filed a concurring opinion noting disagreement with the majority's decision to overrule Johnson but otherwise joining the opinion.
