The State of Texas v. Soutchay Sanavongxay, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the lower appellate court's dismissal of the State's interlocutory appeal because the trial court failed to issue a written order on the DNA evidence. The Court held that an oral ruling does not constitute an appealable order and that Rosenbaum and related precedent do not require revision. Consequently, the State lacks jurisdiction to appeal the trial court's exclusion of evidence.
