Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Michael Wayne Bohannan v. the State of Texas

November 22, 2017546 S.W.3d 166

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction of Michael Wayne Bohannan for violating a civil commitment order, holding that a conviction is valid even though the underlying commitment order was later reversed on appeal because the statutory offense is based on the defendant's status at the time of the violation, not on the finality of the order.
