Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Ex Parte Yusulf Shaheed Benson, Applicant

April 15, 20152015 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 429

Summary

The Court held that intoxication assault and felony DWI are not the same offense for double‑jeopardy purposes, so the applicant's double‑jeopardy claim fails and the convictions stand. Justice Meyers dissented, arguing the offenses should be treated as the same and relief granted.
