Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Dewan Morgan, Appellant v. the State of Texas

September 28, 20162016 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1129

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that the complainant, Regina Raglin, was the owner of the apartment because she possessed a greater right to possession than the appellant, and therefore the appellant entered without effective consent. Applying the rational‑trier standard, the Court found the evidence sufficient to support the burglary conviction and reversed the appellate court’s reversal.
